That's a mighty big difference.
It's also ironic that now that many of the "Reagan Democrat" whites HAVE learned the hard way to vote their wallet again, blacks have decided not to.

But how are blacks voting against their interest? Obama is running a fairly progressive agenda and blacks are happy with that. So are young people and urban voters and more educated voters. I have faith in Obama to at least fight for a more progressive agenda. I have said many times in Salon forums that I felt that Bill Clinton failed in some ways to forward a more progressive agenda and largely due to his personal sideshows.
