No you don't get it. Blacks as a group expressed themselves. And strongly as they could. As you say, 90% and they are of course rabid in their efforts at turning out voters. And after all that, who walks out when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"? Blacks as a block have shown themselves to be dispensible. If the Republicans don't improve their image on race relations Or, if the Dems can continue to be as successful in their demogaugery.......Of course, that does nothing to actually <Help blacks. The past provides the proof of that.

Sombody gonna need to wake up and smell the coffee alright... from campaign 2000 ... Donna Brazile, Al Gore's presidential campaign manager, recently sought to breathe new life into the foundering campaign by playing the race card. She attacked top black Republicans Congressman J.C. Watts and retired General Colin Powell, charging that they and their party have no programs to feed poor children and would rather take pictures with them than feed them. Or who will forget ... "After what the NAACP did to him last year in those ads, portraying George Bush as a bigot and a racist. The NAACP was so dishonest and so undemocratic, I wouldn't go either if I were him," said Harry Alford, president of the National Black Chamber of Commerce. Many Republicans were shocked by NAACP-sponsored media ads last summer that linked Mr. Bush to the three white racists who murdered a black man in Texas by chaining him to their truck. Renee Mullins, the daughter of victim James Byrd, said in the ad that Mr. Bush's refusal to support a hate-crimes bill while governor of Texas "was like my father was killed all over again." Is this how you improve race relations ? Is this how you improve your image ? Somebody needs to wake up thats for sure.
