And somewhere along the way, that particular narrative changed. A couple of months ago, the media was trying to create a false dichotomy, portraying "the black woman" as being torn between her "womanness" which drew her to Hillary and her "blackness" which drew her to Obama. I'm neither black nor a woman, but I think that sounded pretty offensive. It says that said "black woman" don't have no sense and can only go with these primitive reptilian stimuli.

What a load of crap that is. The black people I know are, on average, far more tuned into the political scene than the average white person. And in the end, "black woman" didn't largely side with Hillary. But that didn't have anything to do with chromosomes or estrogen. It might have had a bit to do with the frequent race-baiting that Hillary and Bill kept tossing into the mix.

Rather than deal with that, the media simply changed the narrative, to "OK so Obama can carry the blacks, but how is he going to do with whites?"

Of course that one is nonsense too because Obama is carrying a huge majority of well educated whites. It has nothing to do with skin pigments. It has to do with his appeal to reason rather than a constant reference to boogeymen and 3:00 phone calls.

OK, I'll admit Obama doesn't stand much of a chance with white racists. We;ll just have to live with that one.
