They have voted in mass. That is in fact the only reason why Barack has won in most states. The fact that he is an African American gives him a boost because African Americans stick together. They will do anything to further their race which they feel is taken advantage of and not offered the same opportunities as other races.

Bush carried easily in 2000 and 2004. But in Florida on January 29th, more Republicans went to the polls: although there are half a million more registered Democrats in the state, 300,000 more Republicans than Democrats voted in January. In particular, according to exit polls available on CNN.com, 40% of the voters who went to the polls on January 29th were over the age of 60, while only 9% of the voters were Floridians under 30. Obviously, young people in this state were not represented by this vote. Similarly, while African Americans make up around 30% of the Democratic electorate in Florida, less than 20% of the voters on January 29th were African American. Trying to count the January 29th election validates the exclusion of precisely the people the Democratic Party needs to reach out to if it wants to expand its presence in Florida and win future elections.
