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.

2. Like it or not, blacks are voting for Obama...
Edited on Tue Feb-05-08 07:42 PM by AX10
because he is the first viable black candidate for President.

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

6. Voter turnout: 63% women, 37% men ...
if that trend holds up in the other states that's good news for Hillary

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.

19. No it doesn't.
It just shows that they like Obama and they do not like Hillary.
