Again, and back to my original point, Hillary lost to BO who only beat Romney in the popular vote by a few per entages and that's primarily due to black voters. The same republitards who voted against BO will also be voting against Hillary. If she even gets the nod. She was the shoein before and lost to BO.

To be fair it was all around minority voters and young voters.
If we go back to 2004 John Kerry got 88% of the black vote while Bush got 11%.
Kerry got 53% of Hispanic voters and Bush got 44%.
Kerry got 56% of voters age 18-29. Bush got 43%
Now we jump forward to 2012.
Obama got 93% of black vote. Romney got 6%
Obama got 71% of the Hispanic vote. Romney got 27%
Obama got 60% of the 18-29 vote and Romney got 37%
In all three of those areas Romney did worse, in some cases much worse, than did Bush.
That's the difference in the election. Most of the other major categories of these two elections look very similar.
So it wasn't just black people that put Obama in office. It was minorities in general and young voters. Both of those demographics will be larger in 2016 than they were in 2012. Whoever can win those demographics over likely will win the white house.
