Why Obama Won
120
Wed, 11-05-2008 - 11:02am

Obama won on his own terms, strategically and symbolically. He rolled up a series of contested states, from Colorado to Virginia, long out of Democratic reach. And his victory reflected the accuracy of his vision of a reshaped country. Racism, much discussed, turned out to be a footnote, and the African-American voter turnout was nothing spectacular.

"Yes I do believe that Obama won the White House based on the new voters."


That's what you said.

No once again, looking at the number of new voters the stats were that many were young, many were black, and many voted for Obama.

How you came to that conclusion from what I wrote is odd to me.

Sorry,I should have directed it to ALL, someone else said he was only elected because of the economy and he was black.
