If Vernon loses, then black GOP candidates go 0 for 3. Sad. Je$$e and the other race hustlers would be most pleased. However publicly, they would claim that Herman Cain, Vernon Robinson, and Dylan Glenn were the victims of GOP racism.

I can not speak for the two candidates in GA but if Robinson loses it will not be to GOP racism, it will be to mainstream GOP fear. Robinson has a following through out the state and the district and it is mostly white voters. Most polls will verify this although I do not have a link. I am willing to bet that most black Republicans in the fifth, and they are not many black voters in the fifth let alone Republicans, will vote for Foxx, Robinson has a following of the more conservative Republicans. As for the mainstream Republicans, call them what you will, in 1992 Governor Jim Martin endorsed only one Republican primary candidate it was Tina Little, wife of 2004 Governor candidate George Little, Tina Little is a pro choice, pro lottery, anti voucher Republican, running for the public instruction, education, seat her opponent was Vernon Robinson. However I think this race will be close and do not count Robinson out. His supporters are very dedicated to him and Foxx supporters are not as dedicated to her just against Robinson and a positive force can beat a negative one, I also am skeptical that Jim Harrell Jr. will beat Robinson in November, this is a very Republican district.
