Actually, I think I said the ratio among African-Americans is 8-1, which translates to 89 percent Democrat and 11 percent Republican. But whether it's 89 percent or 80 percent is not all that important. The fact remains the Republicans have gained virtually no ground the past 20 years in attracting minorities into the party. New Mexico, for instance, is still in play because few Hispanics have embraced Bush.

Yes, the president is supposed to be everybody's president. However, let us not forget that congressmen and congresswomen represent distinct classes of people, and not everyone. And therein lies the problem.

If Bush wins, I am hopeful he would rise above the level of the GOP attack dogs in Congress ... Armey, DeLay, Lott. But I doubt if this will be the case. I have little confidence in Bush as a leader, and even less confidence in the man as an independent thinker.
