Obama won 88% of the black vote in Georgia |
|
If that holds it spells big trouble for Hillary in some big states.

16. It's at least about 10% of the vote in all the big states |
|
I think California is an exception. 10% matters when 90% is going to one candidate. That means Hillary has to overcome an inherent 9% overall deficit to Obama among everyone else.

4. Funny how this is a "good" thing but if women all voted for Hillary it would be a bad thing. |

7. He got my vote, too, and I am white and in Georgia. |
|
So yes, he overwhelmingly got the AA vote, but not JUST the AA vote.

11. That's sad.................. |

It suggest that Black people are only voting for Obama because he is a Black male and they only want a Black President.
