Ken Mehlman on 2006: The Year of the Black Republican

[BamaLefty]

BWHWHAHWHAHAHA! They're not stupid Ken! 2006 is shaping up to be the year of few Republicans, and especially not African-Americans!


LOL @ GOP :rofl:

1. *THE* black republican? I know there are not many

but does Ken really think there's only one? I mean, Ohio has Blackwell, and Illinois has Keyes, so that's two...

2. Ahem...

Speaking on behalf of my fellow Illinoisans, may I respectfully submit that we do not "have" Keyes. We consider him to be a Marylander, although we recognize that they may be reluctant to claim him, as well. As far as we are concerned, he is officially stateless...

[PA Democrat]

4. They are running former Pittsburgh Steeler Lynn Swann for PA

governor. It will be interesting to see how many of the good ol' boys who traditionally vote Repub in PA will vote for a black man. And I honestly don't see Swann getting a lot of votes from the black community. A local TV station was randomly interviewing people on the street about Swann, and of the 4 or 5 black people they questioned not one said they would vote for him. In fact several had very harsh words for Swann, calling him a sellout and a tool, basically.

3. Mehlman got something right

The singular case in referring to "the" Black Republican.
