Even Samuel L. Jackson says that's why he voted for Obama, because he was black. I think there's a lot more influence there than you're willing to give credit to. It was the grassroots, not the Democratic political machine that won.
I'm giving credit in the right proportion. It was more than grass roots, it was grass roots combined with the Machine. Not just simply the Dem machine, that came later, and has been transformed. I'm talking the REAL machine, the Machine I see with every move Obama makes that drives GOPers and myself at times, NUTS. The Chicago Machine.
It's what brought him up, it's what got him elected, and it's how he governs.
If you're unfamiliar, here's a good synopsis by an outsider, and victim.
