The fact that it was a mid-term election is what had the most impact. There is nothing unusual about what happened.

Come on Charles. That's no more convincing than saying --- on the day after the gay marriage prop was defeated in California --- that it was because the "vast majority of black people" were against it. It was impossible to know that so soon and it turns out it wasn't true. What you're saying is based on nothing more than anecdotes.
^^^^^^^ CB: I'm betting that my anecdotes a very good representative samples of the Black population. Also, it is reported by polling statisticians that Black people polled and voted Democrat majorly. That's indirect evidence.They certainly don't think Obama failed them.
So, you really think that Black people don't think the Tea Party and Republican voters are racistly motivated against Obama ? Lets make a bet. A poll of Black opinion may very well come out. Bet !
