3. The idea is, he is not "exciting" black voters |
|
Since he isn't doing enough to reach out to them, taking their support for granted, etc. The idea is, sure, he'll get a high percentage of the ones who bother to vote, but because he hasn't done enough to reach out to them, a lot of them are just going to stay home.
I ain't buying it. But what do I know?

2. As opposed to the challenge Bush has, you mean? |
|
I wonder if they'll mention the 2000 disenfranchisement, or the 2004 harassment of elderly AA voters in Florida.

I'm not watching that channel.. but I'd be interested in knowing if they quoted Reverand Jesse Jackson's comments this morning?
He reminded (whoever it was on American Morning) that in 2000, the same allegations came out saying that "Gore would receive a much smaller amount of the black vote than normal".
He said that wound up being DEAD WRONG.
Rev. Jackson quoted the stats they predicted then, and how overwhelming it turned out in favor of Gore.. (I can't recall the exact numbers, so I won't even try to quote them)
But they were so far off it's not even funny! :headbang:
