Patricia -

I have no doubt that Obama has supporters who are rude jerks. As does any candidate.

As for the black vote, I think the best he's done is about 90%, but even so, why should that be an issue? If a white candidate got 90% of the white vote, would that make his candidacy an issue of race?

When Hillary gets the majority of women's votes, does that make her candidacy about gender?
