I doubt %41 of voters knew half as much as you or I do about the candidates. Also a HEALTHY majority of blacks have consistently voted democrat for some time now, so it would be hard to say that THIS time was different...besides most blacks wanted hillary if you remember in the primaries. And the media did favor Obama this time, like they favored bush last time. Actually Thomas Jefferson wanted the vote reserved to the politically educated.
