Regarding the black vote---excerpt from this morning's Dallas Morning News--
Vice President Al Gore crooned "We Shall Overcome," clasping hands with black ministers at a prayer breakfast in his home state, Tennessee.
Mr. Gore, at the prayer breakfast in Memphis, urged the largely black gathering of nearly 1,000 ministers to "take your souls to the polls." And, baring his own soul a bit, he pleaded for their votes.
"You know that God sees on the inside and not on the outside. And you know, it doesn't matter whether my coat is on or off, what color suit I wear, what kind of tie I put on," he intoned, preacher-style. "You know me. You know what is in my heart." |
