How can we increase African American turnout in FL and NC? Obama is coming to FL. How about Michelle

One African American person in a story said she didn't feel the Clinton campaign was reaching out well enough to the African American community.

1. Obama was already here

I saw Obama on Friday in Orlando. I just saw Hilary in Sanford which is a place rich in AA history. John Lewis was here too tonight and I got my pic with him.

2. I swear to God

that Obama would, if he could, escort every single African American in Florida to the polling station.

And I'm an atheist / agnostic.

that's just how it is.

as far as the AA vote. all is being done to get a turn out. Obama and Michelle especially .

the good thing is Clinton does better among white women and older white people than Obama did.

2012 was special year, we had Obama on the ticket. AA had 85% of votes vs total 70% turnout.

This year we need to target 13.9 or even little lesser like 13%...

The deficit need to be covered by Hispanic vote which has risen 40% in EV
