I have friend who is African American; I refer to his race because it is relevant to this discussion. He is one of the 10% that is supporting John McCain. His main reason is that McCain will make a better Commander in Chief. He says he also is skeptical of Obama, because he reminds them of the neighborhood activists(community organizers) where he grew up, who act like they're victims, instead of teaching people how to stand up as individuals. He said the flack he is getting from his family and some friends for supporting McCain is pretty bad. It's upsetting him, but he's not going to waiver. He's voting based on what he thinks is best for America. He put it this way: “When we vote we should vote as just Americans, not partial ones. When I'm in the voting booth, I'm 3 colors..Red White & Blue” The man is a true patriot.

I wonder if the polls of black voters are skewed by an intimidation factor. There may be a number of blacks that don’t buy Obama’s line but don’t want to fight their neighbors. A few percent? More?
