GOP front-runners show their true colors.
Mitt, Rudy, Fred and John will not be appearing at a televised forum scheduled for this evening at Morgan State University in Maryland to be moderated by Tavis Smiley. Mr. Smiley moderated a similar event for Democrats in June at Howard University in Washington, yet, ALL the leading Democrats were in attendance at that debate.

Mr. Smiley has pledged to put four empty daises on-stage as a reminder of the no-shows for the television audience.

I still do not understand how some Hispanic and African-American voter's can justify voting for repubs? If they don't even want to face them in a debate, how can they possibly be in touch with any of their issues? It just boggles the mind.

I hope this wake-up call to Latino and African-American voters sends more voters to the Democratic Party.

2. Of course,"IF" is the qualifier of import.
So many repubs tend not to pay much attention to what surrounds them. But let's hope and pass the word along to any of them who might.
