I think we should assume a majority of blacks will support Obama in the primary. But that won't stop Hillary from getting the party nomination. Once he's out of the running, where are they gonna go? I don't think many more than usual will defect to the Republicans this time. And someone like Nader won't appeal to them either.

From the link you posted:

More certain is the effect Hispanics will have in the general election, especially in three western states that Bush narrowly won in 2004: Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico. All three have expanding numbers of Latinos, with New Mexico's now at 31 percent of the population.

President George W. Bush captured more than 40 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2004, much better than the 21 percent Republicans received in 1996.

After a divisive immigration debate, however, congressional Republicans saw a sharp decline in Hispanic support in 2006, with their share dropping to 30 percent, according to exit polls.


That's why NM's Richardson makes sense for Hillary's veep.
