Though blacks and whites each account for about 41% of the city's 3 million population, there are roughly 150,000 more white voters than black ones. Washington was able to win two terms by putting together coalitions combining virtually all black voters with about one-fifth of whites. But that coalition broke apart last week as 91% of whites opted for Daley and 94% of blacks cast their ballots for Sawyer.
