That black voters will again give President Obama
a sky-high percentage of their vote in 2012 was
never in doubt. What is in doubt is how many will
make up that percentage. It is the number, not
percentage of black voters that turn out that will
again ease the President’s path back to the White
House or, make that path rocky. The 2008 election
decisively proved that the presidential
re-election bid is a pure numbers game.

Fifty years ago this summer,
hundreds of young people
organized, rode buses into the
deep South and got arrested
for challenging Jim Crow
segregation in inter-state
transit. They were beaten,
firebombed and imprisoned. The
Freedom Riders knew full well
they would not convince
segregationist Southern
politicians like Alabama’s
Sheriff Bull Connor or
Governor John Patterson to
embrace integration.
