NAACP's Mfume Sees Large Black Voter Turnout By David Morgan PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - This year's presidential race is the most important in recent memory for black Americans and is likely to produce the largest black voter turnout in at least a decade, NAACP President Kweisi Mfume says. ``The pundits and the pollsters are overlooking the importance of the African-American vote,'' Mfume said in an interview. ``The impact of the black vote will probably be greater than it has been in the past 10 or 12 years.'' With Republican George W. Bush and Democrat Al Gore neck-and-neck in the polls and apathy high among the general public, analysts say a big turnout among blacks could hurt Bush in battleground states like Florida, Missouri and Pennsylvania, where there are large black populations. dailynews.yahoo.com
