Poll question: Are the Democrats taking the Minority Vote for granted?
It has been suggested that the Democrats are not meeting any of the concerns expressed by the Minority communities. Do you feel that is an accurate assumption?

1. Don't quite have an option to vote for
We are *significantly* superior to the GOP on minority issues, but we have quite a ways to go.

2. I recommend this excellent website
http://www.blackcommentator.com/index.html

It certainly reflects the concerns of the black political community

3. It is probably true, this year
But on the other hand the focus has been totally on defeating the evil empire. I suspect the Dem leaders expect minorities, women, gays, and agnostic/atheists, correct-thinking parents to vote democratic because it is in their best interest to get on the No CARB plan without DeLay. Clean house first and then make the dems listen.

4. If by "minority" you mean "free thinking people," yes.

5. Ridiculous
when you start adding up the African Americans, the Hispanic Americans etc., pretty soon you realize that minorities, and women, ARE the Democratic party.
