1. I'm a white guy that voted for the same reason a lot of black people voted for him...
-because his economic ideology did NOT mirror Herbert Hoover's (McCain)
-because he didn't want to make privatized medicine MORE privatized (McCain)
-because he didn't want to PRIVATIZED social security (McCain)
-because his economic advisor was NOT Phil Graham , the guy that started this mess with the Graham Leach Bliley act (McCain)
-because he didn't believe in a bull shit "voucher" program (McCain)

Barak Obama was NEVER my "saviour" but he is better than the alternative, and to say african americans didn't think that way because of the color of their skin is flat out racism.

2. His example is pretty suggestive of voting machine irregularity in NC.
He points to a study that noted that Obama got 90% of the black vote in NC but a white Dem candidate running for the senate got 95% of the black vote.

Really?

Do ya think maybe the presidential vote was being shaved by fiddling with the voting machine program, while the rest of the contests weren't? How reasonable is it that MORE would vote for a white senatorial candidate than for Obama?

Anything's possible I guess.

Especially when you're talking about voting machines.
