or another way to put it is you fully support a GOP victory in 2008.

And at the same time Clinton loses a state that is almost 90% white by 16 points on the same day- what can we conclude from that?

What can we also conclude from Obama's big victories in states with a high % of blacks? Do you think so many blacks would have voted for him if he was white?

You know I would be embarassed to admit the that the most important factor in my voting decision was race because it basically means I don't care what the issues are as long as one of us are in power and I don't agree with that. I'm not suprised that many people do agree with that but I can't believe they admitted to it

I guess you are not getting the point. Obama has one been consistently winning the black vote all over the nation. Not so much for Hillary though - why is that? Even after proclaiming that "hard working white voters" prefer her.
