I’d be interested in knowing what percentage of black Catholics voted for Obama, since you seem to have such statistics readily at hand.

According to the article, it's the head of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), Russell D. Moore, who co-headlined the news conference with Bishop William Lori. Since the Baptists have a strictly congregational polity, even Moore can't speak for the SBC congregations, white or black, and moreover, there are a 60+ associations, conferences, conventions, fellowships, groups, and unions of Baptists out there who are not aligned with SBC.

I think a lot of the Black Baptists are "American Baptist Church", "General Convention Baptists," and "National Baptist Convention."

So, yeah. A lot of Black Baptist and Black Catholic voters voted for the Obamanation, A lot of whites, Hispanics, and Asians did too. Too many. Therefore, Obama was elected President.

And the life lesson that comes out of this is---?

Mostly true, but needs a little more info ... they are not, for the most part, members of the Southern Baptist Convention. They belong to several other flavors of the Baptist denomination. The largest predominately black denomninations in descending order are ...

National Baptist - U.S.A.
National Baptist – America
