What percentage of black votes will the McCain receive?

[Skwmom]

I just saw James Clyburn on MSNBC (maybe CNN). I was only half listening but I'm pretty sure I heard him say something along the lines of race always being an issue even if a black candidate is not running. For instance, there is always discussion of what percentage of black voters the Republicans will get. Did anyone else hear this interview?

All I can say is Clyburn is a very smart man, a heck of a politician and the Democrats would be wise to heed his words.

1. Id say like 7%

3. That is not good... for Hillary when she is hovering at the same level

2. After more people hear about "bring back slavery" Hagee & "destroy Islam" Parsley .......i'd say -2%

4. but it's not only the percentage one side gets vs. the other

but the ability to rally voters of any demographic so they go out and vote.

5. 8% if Obama is the nominee, 20% if HRC is and particularly if McCain

reaches out to the black community in the wake of the nomination theft. Oh, and Hillary would only get about 40% of the black vote, the other 40% would stay home.
