If she knew Obama and heard him speak she may have realized that he may be different and that he may have a chance. I am not saying that she would have endorsed anyone because they were black, I am saying that in my opinion she would have heavily endorsed and supported the black candidate in order to further his chances. I am saying yes, 100% in my opinion, the fact that he was black had something to do with her support. That is just my opinion. You are free to disagree. She was balling in the audience after Obama won and I am guessing that she wasn't just happy that the guy she supported won, but that he was black. I feel that is a main reason why she supported him so much. Like I said, feel free to disagree with that, stupid.
