McCain won hands down in both these states.
Support for Obama amongst African-Americans was pegged at 95%. So the largest african american populations does not mean that they were the majority in those states. SO race did play a big role. However...the results are clear and indisputable. He won by a huge margin...so race was obviously not the only issue. His support amongst Latinos was 70%.
Truly historic.

Bad news for Canada and India. He wants to renegotiate NAFTA and meddle in Kashmir. Lets hope it was just pre-election rhetoric. For Americans, he seems to be a tax and spend socialist. While I don't buy into too much hype, but for Americans its indeed a milestone in race relations.
Its the moral that won the 2004 election for Republicans and it is the same they tried to capitalize and failed miserably. Feeling bit nostalgic as back home in a way, you know what I mean.
I was quite skeptical whether Sen. Obama will make it as I was expecting some last minute gimmicks by the Republicans as they pulled mysterious "Flip flopping with Kerry"...
Way to go Obama, you have earned lots of respect throughout the world and I hope you will keep it.
