6. Agree. In my red GA county, my wife and I figured it was 70% black, 25% white, and 5% other.
And, 50% of those non-black 25% looked like Obama voters.

9. Which is huge. Because if Georgia blacks vote at 95% Obama will win Georgia.
And Saxby is toast.

13. AA vote has historically been smaller. A huge turnout would boost Dems beyond the polls
many polls are skewed to reflect historic voting trends. If one group voted significantly in higher numbers, and if they voted strongly for one candidate over the other, this factor alone would be worth a few points in the polls. Same would go for young voters. So, young voters and AAs, both have the potential to boost Obama beyond the polls with a better turnout than historic trends.

5. I told you so.
:)

Voter turnout in the AA community is going to be through the roof. All we need is everyone else under the big tent to vote.

7. This isn't just in Georgia.
This is going to be a nation-wide phenomenon, especially in the Southern states.
