If we assume the spread of conservatives and liberalsis equal among the races, black conservatives seem to have voted for a black guy rather than a conservative. That's the interesting part because we're supposed to be looking at the issues, not whether our candidate is from our race. It's not a point of controversy that a liberal candidate gets the liberal vote.

hmm
i think the whole "better state equals more voting power in the end" the most absolute crap i've ever heard
obama had like 2 million more voters, but in terms of electoral votes, he had 300 vs 200...it makes no sense to me, that system
also, those (other) numbers are from an exit poll, so...

also, more than all those differences in race and stuff, i would say this would be about age/education/rural vs urban
