secondly, in what states do black voters tip the balance. sure, obama would do a few percentage points better among mississippi blacks than hillary would against mccain. so what? the state is a loss no matter what.
blacks tip the balance in those states?
let's take pennsylvania for example...if obama doesnt win in places where democrats have to win to carry the state: erie, scranton/wilkes-barre, and working class areas around pittsburgh like beaver county....how in the hell does he win the state?
there arent enough blacks in philly or hand-wringers in delaware county to make up the lost votes.
Similarly, if blacks don't turn out heavily in Philly, Detroit or Cleveland, Clinton's going to have a hard time winning PA, MI, or OH.
