I think he won because 54% of the electorate was black. I think white males are bigoted more than the media likes to pretend. It's indeed better, but I'm not sure it's enough to put Obama or Clinton in the white house. I mean, if there are a lot of white employers out there that have been shown to deny someone a wage job on the basis of their skin color, who's going to say they're going to hire them for the highest office in the country??

Sure, people will play to the polls and say the politically correct thing. But people need to understand that racism in this country still exists, it is just a lot less overt. So when people enter the privacy of the voting booth, I think the results will reflect this. Who knows though.
