I think there is only the *assumption* that black people will, for whatever reason, refuse to vote if Obama is not the nominee. I don't think that is the case at all. Will she garner Bill Clinton-like numbers? Definitely not- Obama has inflicted too much damage- but I think she would still garner a vast majority over McCain. Another thing to consider is that many of the more heavily black population centers are located in southern red states which will be GOP anyway. But areas like DC and Maryland, which have relatively high black populations, are safely blue, even for Clinton.

By the way, I just read that the Michelle Obama "whitey" bombshell may stay in the vault a little longer- possibly until Obama becomes the undisputed presumed nominee or the general election. But I just read that this tape is from a TUCC panel session starring Michelle and Louis Farakhan! An inside source who has seen the tape described it as "stunning." The rumor is that FOX definitely has it (Sean Hannity), and that ABC may have it as well. The thing that worries me is that the Obama campaign, flush with gazillions in cash, may have the wherewithall to bribe the owner of the tape. After a weekend where Hillary mopped the floor with Obama in Puerto Rico and where she was given a renewed sense of purpose for starting a convention floor fight (after being robbed over MI), releasing this tape today would be SO perfect. I'm keeping my non-"whitey" fingers crossed!
