"I don't think you understand the degree of animosity and acrimony toward Bush even among middle class blacks.Give the Bush-Cheney team a plus for making the effort but the Demo machine will end up getting 95% of the AA vote.
Not trying to be negative,just realistic."

I live in a middle class neighborhood outside of Detroit...and have a black family next door. They have a Bush/Cheney sign in their yard! :-) I truly think Bush will get more of the black vote this time around. Even if it is 1% more.

It may be true that frenchie does get 95% of the Black vote, but right now it doesn't look very likely.
frenchie will deliver a double whammy to the rats. He will get a smaller percentage of a smaller pool. Blacks are slowly beginning to rethink their slavish connection to the rats. Your pessimism may be the easy position, but this time it's not the right position. In NJ and Ga Bush is doing 20% with Blacks. In Maryland it's 21%. And in Oregon it's 30%. These numbers WILL NOT show up on election day. The ratmedia will try to fool people into believing that the Blacks voted the same way they always do, but they real story will be the Black turnout. They won't jump straight to the GOP. They will sit out a cycle or two, maybe vote 3rd party, but the Black move back to the Republican party will happen.
