Other.

The white racists just decided to stay home, the polls were more accurate.

There's something else too- Obama is not your typical African-American. He's only half-black, he's Ivy League-educated, he was raised by a white woman (my thoughts are with her family at this time) and he wasn't Jesse Jackson.

He was, basically, a "non-threatening" black guy. If he looked, well, like Dennis Haysbert, things would have been different.
