    I have ADD Carlos, too much reading for me. I will steal this quote from the article above though.

    "Though a majority of black voters may inevitably have gone for Obama, nothing precluded the wife of the so-called first black president from keeping Obama's margins among blacks significantly narrower -- say, losing to him by 4-to-1 or even 3-to-1, rather than the devastating 9-to-1 margins by which Obama has often won African-American Democrats."

    Yeah Hillary f-ed up, but with a strong black canidate, he is geting some percentage of support, that's all I was saying. I won't deny Obama is losing some white vote for being black and not just white votes, I've known racist china and mexican people too.

    My point with pulling all of the articles is Obama didn't just get the Black vote. Clinton lost it with her campaigns tactics and didn't try to get it back. Her surrogates would say "When Clinton is the nominee, Blacks will vote for her." No we won't. That's taking our vote for granted.
