Black voters who do go to the polls are near-certain to vote for Obama. But in Virginia and North Carolina, concern is rising that the black voters who sealed the deal for Obama in 2008 will stay home.

When then-candidate Barack Obama won North Carolina by 14,000 votes in 2008, a lot of the credit went to the eye-popping 76 percent turnout rate among African-American voters.

Will black voters give Obama what he needs in Southern swing states? - CSMonitor.com

President Barack Obama's support of gay marriage has turned off a lot of religious southern black voters. I think he's going to lose North Carolina. I think he's going to win Virginia. Either way as long as he wins Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida he's in good shape.

In order for Mitt Romney to win the election he's got to win just about every key swing state. I don't think that is going to happen.

This is how much Obama cares about working people.

Obama administration told contractors not warn employees that they may be laid off due to sequestration. The political calculus here is obvious, if contractors comply with the Obama administration’s directive, workers across the country including those in the states of Virginia, Florida and Pennsylvania will not receive layoff notifications under the WARN Act. The WARN Act is designed to protect “workers, their families by requiring employers to notify them 60 days in advance of plant closings and mass layoffs.

The pink slips were to go out about a week before election but now these families will not know until it's too late. Virginia, PA and Florida. Lockheed Martin (Virginia) agree to hold off on the pink slips until after election.

The Obama administration said they will pay all legal fees for breaking the law. Guess what states it effects the most?

Yep, that is how much Obama cares about the American people and jobs.

I always thought VA was a lean Obama but after Wednesday not so much anymore. Obama will lose Ohio and Florida. He should win PA but it will be very close.

Obama was humiliated in front of 70 million people that just those who watched on TV. Not to mention the office cooler chat and near universal panning on morning shows the impact of the debate will be far reaching.

Black turnout will be strong it always is strong it just won't reach '08 levels, mostly due to youth dissatisfaction which crosses racial lines.
