People who have this kind of support for Obama base on it on the idea that they simply don't like how politics are and they believe Obama can change it. The folks blindly standing behind McCain are blindly standing behind him because of issues (i.e., "OMG NO ABORTION", "OMG DONT WITHDRAW FROM IRAQ"). The folks blindly standing behind Obama are blindly standing behind him more due to him being "the candidate of change" (although, I must admit, there probably are some staunch supporters of nationalized health care, so they might be blindly following Obama because of that).
Like someone else said, there are probably equally white people who are following McCain because he isn't Black. I'm not disagreeing that there are definitely black people who are supporting him blindly. But if you went to a state (not to stereotype, but a southern state? not sure exactly where there might be a concentration of black dislike) and did this with McCain spouting some of Obamas policies, you would easily be able to generate the same results.
One of the worst offenders of blind support from what I've seen if Oprah. Obama could probably hand it a piece of paper he wiped his arse with and she would probably declare it to be a work of genius.
