You make an interesting point, but it is worth noting that Steele was actively campaigning for the African-American vote, certainly moreso than his Republican counterpart.

There were two other races that year that featured similar racial breakdowns, but the difference in black support was much smaller...

Ohio

Blackwell - 20% Black
DeWine - 15% Black

Pennsylvania

Swann - 13% Black
Santorum - 10% Black
