I said it before and I'll say it again. Barack Obama will completely split the black vote.
This is monumental. Davis will take a lot of people with him.
And Colin Powell can kiss my ass.

This from his blog

On the specifics, I have regularly criticized an agenda that would punish businesses and job creators with more taxes just as they are trying to thrive again. I have taken issue with an administration that has lapsed into a bloc by bloc appeal to group grievances when the country is already too fractured: frankly, the symbolism of Barack Obama winning has not given us the substance of a united country.

Until the Republicans promise more welfare than the Democrats, the Afro vote will be undivided and owned by the Democrats.

Arthur Davis appears to be a Christian, which puts some friction between him and Obama. But, the switch in parties still appears to be nothing more than Davis leaving the Democrats, where he was just another f-ing cold (coon), a voted out cold, to the Republican party where he'll be paraded around by Republicans wanting to prove they're not racist in a futile attempt to get the Afro vote.

Black Americans, who *typically vote at all, are middle and upward middle class citizens-

While I agree that many believe in entitlements, it is due to their liberal leanings, not their welfare addictions-

You are one nasty asshole~

*2008 election had differing economic profiles than typical election years-

Yet, in spite of their relatively high socioeconomic status, those Afros still vote like they have shit for brains and chains on their legs. What a pathetic species.

Obama got 95% of the Afro vote. A white Democrat would "only" have gotten 90% (based on historical voting patterns).
