You know this how?

I'll counter your assumption by mentioning Al Gore received 90% of the Black vote. African American have always overwhelmingly voted Democrat.

Alan Keyes didn't get the Black vote and neither did Ezola Foster.

Do you think this election will have a bigger turnout then normally because of Obama?

No...

I'm convinced we'll have a bigger turnout because of 8 years of Bush/Cheney. We're (the public) slow learners, but once we get it, we really get it.

As another poster pointed out, I want to know why the curiosity with black voters all of a sudden. There has never been a concern before now.

WHY DO WHITE PEOPLE VOTE FOR MCCAIN? Thinking people will not vote for McSame. He is too much like George W. Bush and we got screwed by him - royally. Race has nothing to do with this election. It is a matter of who offers hope and who doesn't. McCain doesn't offer the leadership we are looking for. Obama is the man who sweep 50 out of 50 on November 4, 2008. Put on your dancing shoes to dance on GWB's grave.

There is no answer to the question because peopleits jusgt meant to justify a view. The question doesn't even pass the critical thinking test, but it has just enough drama attached to create a knee jerk reaction.

Default If Obama were white....

If Obama were white, I guarantee you McCain would win this election hands down! He (Obama) has done a great job selling to a lot of white people that he will make some changes, and a few have bought into it. But it is most certainly, the Black vote that will put him over the top this time. I know without any doubt, there are MORE Black people voting for Obama just because he's black, then there are White people that vote for McCain just because Obama is Black! And the really sad thing is, not only have the majority of these Black Voters NEVER Voted... they have no idea, other than Obama is Black, why they will do it this time. After you listen to the interviews made in Harlem by Howard Sterns guy, that the majority of them cant even read! Oh, but thats the Republicans Fault we have so many Black people that cant read, right? That explains why they (the Blacks) will buy into this crap, and the only excuse for the white people that believe it, is that they believe everything Hollywood tells them and aren't capable of thinking for themselves! Obama will probably win, but you idiots will be very ashamed of your choice, trust me. by the way, before you start, I'm not a republican, I didn't Vote for Bush, I believe you Vote for the man that has earned this privilege, Obama hasn't even come close! McCain is, and has been serving this country his entire life, Obama served this country for less than a few hundred days and decided he's run for President, he's nothing but a professional liar!
