I guess I'll get flamed also. I think race plays a huge part in a life long Dem not voting for Obama.
As far as black voting based on race, I'm not buying it.
If we voted solely on race, Obama wouldn't be the first to have made it this far. He would be the 5th.
Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Shirley Chilsom, Lenora Fulani
If blacks vote based on race, why didn't these people make it to this point? If we're talking race only, Fulani, should have been the Dems worst night mare. Shes black and a woman! She should have pulled all the black voters and many of the women, away from the democratic party. It didn't happen.
McCain won't win the black vote because he is a republican, not because he's white.
