African Americans doubt in Obama

After reading this article, it may be safe to say that Obama is on the same level as McCain when it comes to the support of the black vote in Mississippi. Obama's campaign is focusing on getting out the black vote, so that he can tae victory in southern states like Mississippi, that have almost never been won by a Democratic Presidential candidate. While Obama may be right when he suggests that the support of the black vote may put him over the top in some states, Mississippi is not one of them. His efforts to many of the black voters in mississippi have proven to be the same as any other politician running for President, he is all talk and no action. Obama may have a hard time trying to convince the black mississippi voters that he is any different than the next politician, and with this obstacle, Obama's efforts to get out the black vote may proove to be a failire. If Obama does not do more to connect with the small town black voters in places such as Canton Mississippi, his over reliance on the black vote in Mississippi will lead him to a big dissapointment.
