Don King Urges Blacks To Vote For Bush Promoter Holds Rally In Cleveland
CLEVELAND -- President George W. Bush is now officially ready to rumble because flamboyant boxing promoter Don King is taking his corner in Cleveland.
King was in Cleveland today for a re-election rally for Bush. King also was scheduled to meet with members of the Urban League and attend a gathering at Holy Trinity Baptist Church. Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie, Ohio Lt. Gov. Jeanette Bradley and Texas Railroad Commission Chairman Michael Williams also were expected to be on hand.
King called on black voters to pick Bush over Democrat John Kerry.
The promoter said Bush has reached out to minorities by choosing Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell for prominent administration roles.
