It looks like the black vote could very well make the difference in some of these battleground states. The North Carolina numbers are troubling for the GOP and it doesnt even include newly registered white democrats and white republicans voting for Obama. The past two election cycles have been close. All it takes is an increased surge in a voting block to tip the election over to one side.
"Democrats are outvoting the GOP by a margin of 2.5-to-1 in North Carolina, where early voting has been under way for a week. That's roughly double the margin from 2004."
"More than 210,000 blacks who are registered as Democrats have cast early ballots in the Tar Heel State - compared with roughly 174,000 registered Republicans overall. Four years ago, the number of GOP early and absentee voters was more than double that of black Democrats"(very troubling for the GOP in North Carolina)
"Virginia, another Southern state that usually votes Republican - but where Obama is doing well in opinion polls - does not track voter registrations by race or party. But some of the largest increases in registrations this year were in Democratic-leaning cities with large minority populations."
I drove up to VA yesterday and saw a funny billboard. a huge one. it said MLK was a REPUBLICAN. this may be technically true, but I believe he was more libertarian. I just thought the billboard was funny. if obama does well in VA, it's going to be due to transplants.
