The dip in support for Obama, who would be the first black U.S. president, cut across demographic and ideological lines. He slipped among Catholics, born-again Christians, women, independents and younger voters. He retained the support of more than 90 percent of black voters.

...Also can anyone here explain to me why the part I put in bold type needed to be mentioned in this story...Except that it plants a subtle unspoken accusation of racism at the voters that have backed off of Obama.

it's mentioned a lot because it's a big, important deal that people believe that a black guy has a legit shot to actually win the presidency. it would be hugely historic if he won. (he won't, though, so don't lose sleep about what might happen) acknowledging that has nothing to do with accusing you of being racist.

y'all are some eagle-eye motherfuckers when it comes to finding and exposing examples of the media's bias against rich white men, but it's weird to me how you seem to have no problem swallowing whole the image of black folks you are fed.
