Go Home Obama In Georgia

Obama In Georgia

BY NOAM SCHEIBER

According to MSNBC's exits, Obama got 86 percent of the black vote and 43 percent of the white vote. Blacks accounted for 52 percent of the electorate. If accurate, that's a pretty amazing performance. That's well over 60 percent of the total vote statewide...

Yup, gotta love Kieth Olbermann essentially telling everyone with their DVRs to go back and do the math on the Exits to see what the projected vote totals were.  Classic.

That's a very promising breakdown indeed, for both blacks and whites

Don't mean to be a downer but I wouldn't be so sure, our margin seems to be dropping by the minuet.  Doesn't bode well.  I would also point out that the exits look like they overestimated Barack's support in Georgia by like 15 points or something.  Let's keep our fingers crossed!
