CB: "It would seem that a lot of his support was "thin". That's probably due to his skin."
[WS:] If it is skin, then how do you explain the fact that Fenty, a black man, won the support of the whites, but overwhelmingly lost among the blacks, which cost him the election?
^^^^ CB: I'm explaining the thinness of Obama's support among some whites. I don't know about Fenty. Who is that ? Oh , there's google. Anyway, it seems from what you say that Fenty's situation is different than Obama's. Oh Mayor of DC. There have been lots of Black Mayors of DC. It has a majority Black population unlike the US
