Feeling taken for granted by Gore Some blacks object to suburban focus Friday, November 03, 2000 By ROBERT J. VICKERS PLAIN DEALER POLITICS WRITER The Rev. Marvin McMickle was blunt when Vice President Al Gore’s campaign called him last month to participate in a conference call for black ministers: "I turned him down," said the Antioch Baptist Church pastor. "You don’t have time to land and come here, but you want all of us to call and listen to you while you fly over us going somewhere more important? That won’t get it done," said McMickle, who was defeated by Ted Celeste in the Democratic Senate primary last March. McMickle echoes many black Democrats from Ohio’s urban centers who say Gore has taken Ohio’s black voters for granted and has not campaigned enough in the black community. Much of Gore’s Ohio strategy has placed him in more conservative suburban and rural communities in the past months. Visits to Democratic Party strongholds like the Dayton and Cleveland areas, for example, have seen the vice president campaigning for undecided voters outside the central cities. cleveland.com
