That article is incorrect when it says Clinton's popularity with blacks didn't transfer to Democrats that immediately followed -- Gore got 92% and a good turnout in 2000, helping to put away PA/MI, make FL a tossup, and give Democrats a five-seat gain in the Senate. The small shift to Bush is explained by 1) 9/11, like the rest of the electorate and 2) incumbency (the Bush team was able to shift money to black churches through the Office of Faith-Based Pork). That's a big flaw in the whole "Why can't the GOP go back to 2004-level support from minorities?" line -- that election was atypical.
