I'm so sick of people going OMG RACIST!!!! if you say that if Obama wasn't black, he wouldn't be where he is. If he WASN'T black, he wouldn't be getting blacks by a 9-1 margin. That's just a fact.
That is certainly true; although people who say Obama is only doing well because of race are just plain wrong. He has charisma, and other qualities that help him do well.
Yes, and that's another reason why he is doing such a good job - he has extremely good charisma and is very slick. I have plenty of respect for Barack Obama, since he has brought new voters into the process and has run a tremendously good campaign - he beat the Clinton machine for God's sake!
I never said that his strength among black voters was the only reason he was doing well. It DID put him over the top in many primaries though, and helped him to overwhelmingly beat Hillary in states with significant black population.
