While I know this isn't supposed to be a serious thread, it is sort of interesting to note where the "collapse" came from according to the exit polls:

Black women voted exactly the same way as they did in 2008, giving Obama a monstrous 96%-3% margin.

However, Obama really did suffer a big drop when it came to black male support. He won them 95%-5% in 2008 but only carried them by 87%-11% this year.

That really is pretty damn significant. Not sure if I buy the exit poll on that one.

Black women were about the same, if not higher, in their support of Obama, and they turned out in massive numbers this year.
