'African Americans For Obama'

[glatt]

I think Obama excited people who ordinarily don't vote. And this was especially true in the black community.

It's pretty well established that Republicans are in the minority, but they vote consistently. Democrats are in the majority, but they are just as likely to stay home as to vote. That's why Republics are always opposed to any effort to get out the vote. Because those efforts overwhelmingly support the Democrats.

Whenever the weather is bad on election day, Republicans do better. When it's sunny and turnout is high, Democrats do well.

So yeah, there are a lot of people who voted for Obama because he is black. That excited them, and they voted, and they were Democrats.
