I am suggesting those are other factors for him getting elected....I agree those have nothing to do with race.

And as for the black vote, I can understand that - african americans identify with him, and think their needs will not be ignored. That makes him the best candidate because of their perspective.
The best candidate is not an objective measure - everyone has different priorities and perspectives based on their culture, race, social status etc. You can't say that blacks voted Obama because he was black - and even if they did, a black presidential candidate could bring to the table a set of priorities that qualifies him as the "best candidate" in their eyes. I doubt too many people heavily agreed with McCain but voted Obama because he was black (actually's he's half white, but I digress...) - give the african american people some credit, they can figure out who to vote for based on the real issues and not just vote for the person who looks like them. |
There was a greater turnout in all minority groups and the percentages went to Obama....I will agree that many people in minority groups voted for Obama because of his political stance and because in their opinion he is "the best candidate". There are also those who did vote for him because he was black and those that voted for him because he was a minority. There is definately a percentage of the voting population who know nothing about the political stances of each party and are making their judgements on stupid things like skin colour.
I am sure both McCain and Obama won and lost votes because of their skin colour....however....I think Obama benefited more from it them McCain.
