Former New Hampshire Governor John Sununu suggested this is the case. See here. He said: “Frankly, when you take a look at Colin Powell, you have to wonder whether that’s an endorsement based on issues or whether he’s got a slightly different reason for preferring President Obama.” When asked what that slightly different reason might be, he said Powell was proud that someone of his own race was President of the United States.
This leads me to wonder whether John Sununu supports Mitt Romney because he is white.
There's a lot more variety among Whites in this country than among Blacks--witness the near 100% support for Obama among Blacks.
