No, that assumption makes no sense, because of the people who did vote for him or did not, you don't know which percentages were influenced significantly by his race.

Thats my point...its a really bad assumption.

It was all over the new only a couple of weeks ago. I will go dig up the information if you want me to but it is extremely easy to find if you truly don't believe me.

The majority of black voters typically vote democrat so I don't think it had to do with Obama being black.

In 2004 74% of black voters identified with democrat.

I'm not sure it is something to brag about.

Not sure of your point.....since the leaders of Cuba and Venezuela support Obama, there is no signficance in the fact that is support world wide is so large?

There are a few different conversations going on in this thread. I think she was talking about the debate if people voted for Obama because he was black.

I'm glad I didn't have to vote here.
