So he doesn't really mean it? He is merely pandering to the black population in a blatant attempt to curry their votes? The fact that it directly contradicts earlier stands of his is of no importance? Where is that person who wondered why I would vote for Kohn?

I never said he doesn't really mean it. He probably realizes that the chances of it ever happening are very, very slim. So he uses it as a rhetorical wedge and as an entree into the contest for the Black vote. Personally, I see nothing wrong with the tactic even though I disagree with the idea.

Well I have a lot of problems with the tactic, and with candidates who say one thing and do another. But rather than argue with the Keyes crowd I'll just say that I no longer care what principle Dr. Keyes trashes, what whopper he tells, what level of pandering he stoops to. I still think that he's going to get his head handed to him in November, but on the off chance he wins then I admit that he certainly won't be any worse than the rest of the crowd that infests the Senate these days.
