This chapter probes the electoral attributes of a special political dynamic that contributed significantly to Barack Obama's victory in both the 2008 Democratic primary contests and in the national presidential election. That special political dynamic involved the unique contribution of African American voters (hereafter referred to as the Black Voter Bloc or BVB) in facilitating Obama's election as the first African American President of the United States. It argues that the BVB played a critical electoral role in the Obama campaign's delegate count victory in the Democratic primaries by early July 2008 and in the Obama–Biden Democratic ticket's victory over the McCain–Palin Republican ticket in the November 4, 2008, presidential election.

Practical Implications

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds his/her own impartial comments and places the articles in context Findings When history comes to review the 2010s in North America, the issue of leadership will undoubtedly figure significantly. It will surely seem a mystery how the first black American president, and a Democrat, served for two terms to be followed by at least one term of one of the most hard right Republican presidents ever to sit in the Oval Office. Putting aside their diverse political tendencies, it is also remarkable how two such different personalities served the American people in the same decade. Truly, the awkward meeting on the White House steps as Obama handed over to Trump will become a seminal moment in history, although little will ever be known about what was really going on inside the head of both leaders. Practical implications This paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
