re: Why are blacks vilified for not toeing the Obama line?

While I agree that there are more and more Tbirds and BHPs every year, their voice is not increasing in proportion to their numbers.

Again - if that voting pattern will just shift 10 points from 95/5 to 85/15, or, even better, 70/30, blacks will become as important as Latinos, particularly if turnout in elections without a black man running for President also increases.

As it is now - they're written off by the Republicans (although Rand Paul may make me rethink this) and taken for granted by their Democrat overseers, black and white.

This is also an excellent analysis - I am so encouraged to see posters like BHP and TBird post - it gives me hope for the future, even though I won't live long enough to witness it.

For 30 years my vote has been dependent on what I thought was best for my 5 grandchildren. I now have 2 great-grands to worry about as well. My vote is always for their benefit.
