More articles, from the Washington Post and the Politico, demonstrating that black support for Obama's presidential run may be tepid at best.

This could actually be a good thing for Obama, especially in the general election. The more distance there is between Obama and the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jackson of the world, the better it may be for Obama's long-term goals.
