there still are some fundamentalist and hate groups that do vote (ie KKK), so while not the majority, there are certain blocs that would most defiantely sway their votes... I personally think someone like powell, running on a republican ticket would have a MUCH easier time getting elected than say, obama on a liberal ticket... the right is more inclined to dislike affirmative action and various other social programs, and i think the fear of a conservative candidate vastly expanding such programs would be far less imposing...

there are real reasons besides racism that black candidates might have a harder time...
