Reply #45: Do you have a source for that?

According to Wiki 6.48% of Wisconsinites are black. That makes for approximately 165,000 black voters - potentially. I cannot find a source showing the racial make-up of people who actually voted. Your 1 in 10 number seems to come from state demographics showing Wisconsin to be 90% white. That does not prove that voting was proportional to demographics especially considering that 85% or so of black people typically vote for Democrats. Obama won Wisconsin by 193,212. So yes, he would have won without the black vote, but not by a huge margin depending on how many voted. Their turnout was amazing, with 1.1 million voting in the Democratic Primary, compared to 1.4 million who voted for Kerry in 2004.
