So why would blacks “remember” and not vote for a white Dem? I do not get that.

Anyway, if blacks turn out as they did for Uhbama, Brown should win. Only hope is for white oibs not to turn out. Repubs are strong outside central.

It's a MD thing, I'll try and help you understand. At the state level, districts are gerrymandered with black votes to give Democrats the advantage, but very few Blacks are in the MD House because their votes are split among white districts.

Blacks complain about this all the time. Blacks helped O'Mally win the Governership by coming out for him. They expected whites to come out for Brown (a black) in this election cycle.

Believe me, they feel jilted because whites aren't turning out for Brown.
