I've not seen any intelligent explanation of why Obama is a better candidate, not one single Obama supporter have managed to explain their perception of the man with any clarity. According to exit polls, the state of the economy was the most significant issue for voters, and whilst Powell claimed that Obama's vision for the economy was superior it was almost identical to McCain's plan.


Historically, African Americans have always voted Domorcats, regardless who is their candidate, Clinton had around 85% of the black votes and John Kerry had around 88% of the Black votes, unless I am mistaken and something Clinton and Kerry isn't telling us, they are both white.

African Americans do not just vote for Obama because he is black (at least not 90% you suggested), although no doubt there has been some have voted because of that, so would the some white Republicans who voted for McCain because the Democrats has a Black Candidates and that because McCain is white. The majority of African Americans voted (at least 85% - Clinton numbers, or 88% in the case of Kerry) voted for Democrats because they always votes for Democrats not because Obama is black. So your 90% is now down to merely 2%. And you can't say for certain statistically that there are less than 2% of Republicans who voted for McCain because he is white, because Obama is Black, muslim, arab....etc it's a 2 way street.

As to your second point, i can go on til the cow comes home but only time will tell if he can do what he promises to do. Plus i am at lunch and i still not gone out to get my sandwich.
