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.

So we should just write them off? How is that going to decrease animosity and acrimony? Bush has a much better Civil Rights record than Kerry.

So you think that gearing the conservative message toward black America is a waste?

You must crawl before you walk. A gain of even one percentage point among black voters is a victory for black GOP outreach as far as I'm concerned.

I think you're wrong about middle class blacks. Don't believe polls either, paticularly exit polls, peer pressure is enormous among blacks. A black person would be the first to pull the lever for Bush and then walk outside and lie about it to a pollster or his friends.
