Figured I would start an election thread for tonight.
The first thing I noticed about this election is it's parallel with boxing. Since the days of Jack Johnson, promoters have always known that the best way to draw a large audience was to pit a white guy against a black guy. Johnson could fight a total bum who was white and get a better draw than fight the best black fighter.
The huge turnouts that are taking place at voting booths all over the country prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that black vs. white is still the best show.
I would guess that if in 2012 both parties had a black candidate, voter turnout would be a record low.
