The McKinney results in AR, LA and WV confuse me. Bitter Democrats who didn't want to vote for the Republican but were unaware McKinney was black as well? Radical blacks who didn't think Obama was a good representative of their race? White liberals feed up by Obama not being more anti-Bush?

McKinney was the only black candidate on the ballot.  Obama is bi-racial.  Maybe that had something to do with it?

If that's the case, then why did blacks in AR and LA vote for her, while blacks in Georgia, where she served in Congress, didn't?

She wasn't on the ballot in Georgia.
