I think being black helped him overall. It may have cost him some votes in the south but I think it really helped him with young people. Young people were extremely excited about Obama. He had an almost "rock-star" type of appeal. I think part of that was due to his race. As I said earlier, I think that being a minority is considered "cool" by young people.
