People voting for Obama, as a self-described uniter on race, have wildly different ideas of what they are voting for.The African-American community, who are voting an astonishing 80-90% for Obama, most likely do not have the same notion of what his symbolism means as do the white men (and women) of Wisconsin and Virginia.
