The confidential memo from a former pollster for President Obama contained a blunt warning for Democrats. Written this month with an eye toward Election Day, it predicted “crushing Democratic losses across the country” if the party did not do more to get black voters to the polls.
“African-American surge voters came out in force in 2008 and 2012, but they are not well positioned to do so again in 2014,” Cornell Belcher, the pollster, wrote in the memo, dated Oct. 1. “In fact, over half aren’t even sure when the midterm elections are taking place.”
Mr. Belcher’s assessment points to an urgent imperative for Democrats: To keep Republicans from taking control of the Senate, as many are predicting, they need black voters in at least four key states. Yet the one politician guaranteed to generate enthusiasm among African Americans is the same man many Democratic candidates want to avoid: Mr. Obama.
Now, Democrats are deploying other prominent black elected officials and other surrogates, buttressed by sophisticated voter targeting efforts, to stoke black turnout. At the White House, the president is waging an under-the-radar campaign, recording video advertisements, radio interviews and telephone calls specifically targeting his loyal African-American base.....

Doesn’t matter. They will not relinquish control of the country no matter what they have to do to keep it.
Googling good gravy recipes now to put on my hat in case I have to eat it. Hope so.
Was there any bad feelings in Ferguson before the riots?? Probably not much.
Outside the immediate family? I’d bet big bucks not one of the homies GAF’d because that’s just normal life in the hood. It happens in da’hood every single day.
Sure that’s harsh. It’s also the truth. Pour a beer, fire up a blunt in honor of the deceased and replace him in the gang. Then life goes on and the hate whitey meme gains another notch on the handle but that’s about it.
In Missouri an influential Black group has indorsed a White Republican. We’ll see; don’t think Blacks will stay home; but we’ll see.
Things like that are why I really am going to feel bad for the good blacks when the ferals riot in a SHTF scenario. Because there ARE good people that will get fragged by their ‘own’ for not joining the kill whitey brigade.
Same reason it really grates on men now with the whole ‘Acting White’ crap. My kid’s best friend since grade school is a black girl whose mother raised her to be a success and she is. And uup, ‘too white’ for lots of her ‘friends’.
Their ignorance is breathtaking.
you are correct.
there is no motivation to go vote for a senator that is mostly an unknown
When people on the street don’t know who Joe Biden is, how can they be expected to know about a democrat senatorial candidate.
Oh...... one more thing.
Does Sherril have a racial agenda? Is her reace throwing the black race under the bus?
Because thanks to the pavlovian conditioning of the MSMDNC, “Ain’t no body got time Fo Dat!
Expecting Obola voters to know arcane stuff like the unemployment rate? (Even less likely, knowing how the unemployment rate has been jiggered.)
Don’t forget “De evil white mofos gon shut off da food stamps an’ EBT’s ifs we don’ vote!
Good Lord! So wrong, on so many different levels...
Reminds me of a photo I saw from the Detroit riots where white police are guarding a black man loading his belongings into his car as an angry crowd watches.
My town has one black family. The father’s family fled Detroit during the rioting when his father’s bakery was burned.
“..it’s all about the election. Ferguson is a voter drive.”
And that is why the ABCBSNBCNNYT&Print Consortium keeps stroking the fires.
The little town in the Adrondacks of NY I grew up in had a State facility that cared for the retarded. When Geraldo exposed the Willowbrook thing and it was shut down, we got a bunch of the ‘clients’ as they were called then and several black families moved up there/transfered to work at Sunmount. They were REAL nervous at first with a bunch of drunk lumberjack/rednecks.
A couple years later, you could not find one of them that wanted to go back to the craphole they came from.
And we all lived happily ever after ;)
The black nurse has disappeared from the news; don’t want to alarm the folks down on the plantation.
I guess that answers the question who is safer....a white in a black neighbourhood or a black in a white neighbourhood?
Sometimes I think Barry set up a little island paradise where all the people that ‘disappear’ when their presence no longer serves the agenda get shipped so as to minimize ‘distractions’. I figure it’s a big island.
But then reality sets in and I realize that there’s a more likely reason and it coincides with why the EPA makes it so hard to dredge rivers.
