I think it is an over exaggerated piece of garbage.

1. I think there is probably a kernel of truth to it, but agree that it's over-exaggerated.

2. Didn't a respectable poll just show that 1. Romney has 0% of the African America vote and

2. African Americans were one of the "most enthusiastic" groups looking forward to voting.

3. Yes

I remember that poll, not that long ago. This is just more horse-race bull shit.

6. It's also typical Yahoo bullshit.

They pull this kind of crap on a daily basis. It's really more an attempt to make Obama look bad than it is to make it a horse-race. The comments section is like any other article there--a putrid cesspool of rightwing trolls.

8. A little while back they said something similar about the Jewish vote, however polls indicate

otherwise, that is the vast majority of American Jews are supporting Obama

4. Joe Madison is talked about this today

One of the callers mentioned how (I think) her sister had been a Shrub voter in 2004 strictly because he was "more Christian than the other person running" (Kerry).

I think these are a small minority of the electorate and I wouldn't be surprised if many were never voters in the first place.

5. oh, there may be some folks

. . .but I don't think you can measure them in any significant way in a black vote which is going to be in the 90's.

7. I'm friends with an African American Christian

She goes to church twice week. I go sometimes to see their kick ass gospel choir...seriously, even if you aren't religious, these people will blow you away! Just about 100% of them are voting for Obama.

The church going African-American vote was one reason the
amendment to the NC Constitution prohibiting gay marriage or
recognition of civil unions passed here last May.

It's one reason I'm not as optimistic that Obama will be able to take
NC again in November. OTOH, I'm not sure that African-Americans
in NC are one issue voters.

10. Over a Mormon and a lyin' Catholic Ayn Rand fan, versus a Protestant and a Catholic

who is too honest?
