Blacks vote 90 % democrat in just about every instance whether the candidate is black,white or Greene
Black Republicans are lucky to get 10 % of the black vote
I mean I don't know who voted for him, but in all fairness he never imagined he would end up where he is. He was just a guy down on his luck. Let him enjoy his fame. It seems like the guy really needed a break. I'm sure this experience will change his life. A democrat wasn't winning that seat anyways.
Black democrat against a black republican(Obama /Keyes)

Obama won the support of nine out of 10 black voters and seven out of 10 white voters, according to voter interviews conducted at the polls Tuesday for The Associated Press by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International. About 40% of Republicans backed Obama, as did 75% of independents.
Keyes drew his strongest backing from white Protestant conservatives, according to the poll of 1,392 Illinois voters. Results were subject to sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points, higher for subgroups.

Black conservative tea party backers take heat
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - They've been called Oreos, traitors and Uncle Toms, and are used to having to defend their values. Now black conservatives are really taking heat for their involvement in the mostly white tea party movementâand for having the audacity to oppose the policies of the nation's first black president.
"I've been told I hate myself. I've been called an Uncle Tom. I've been told I'm a spook at the door," said Timothy F. Johnson, chairman of the Frederick Douglass Foundation, a group of black conservatives who support free market principles and limited government.
"Black Republicans find themselves always having to prove who they are. Because the assumption is the Republican Party is for whites and the Democratic Party is for blacks," he said.
Blacks supporting white democrats nearly the same as Obama

Democratic candidates at the presidential level have traditionally received the overwhelming majority of black votes. In 2004, Kerry won over Bush among blacks by 88% to 11%. At this point, Obama is winning over McCain by a 91% to 5% margin. So, there is little difference in how Obama fares among blacks compared to how Kerry did in 2004, in part a result of the already very high, "pre-existing" Democratic tilt of black voters as seen in previous presidential elections.
