This arguement holds no relevance because we have never had a legitimate black candidate for president. Nobody voted for Al Sharpton because they knew he had no chance. This election is different, all bets are off.

I was talking about elections in general. Even Republican candiates like Michael Steel had the same thing happen. And all bets are never off, especially when it comes to elections. Historical trends always play a part.

BTW, what about my first question in that post you quoted? And if the bad economy is solely the responsibility of the Republicans, then I guess they're also solely responsible fo the 410 point gain in the stock market today?
