WASHINGTON - Civil rights activist Jesse Jackson joined the campaign of Sen. John Kerry on Wednesday as a poll showed support for the presidential candidate slipping among black Americans, a critical Democratic constituency.

The Pew Research Center said Tuesday its latest poll showed 73 percent of blacks supporting Kerry compared to 12 percent supporting President Bush. In 2000, Al Gore won 90 percent of the black vote.

Democratic groups have aired campaign ads criticizing Republican efforts to woo black voters.

The Kerry campaign said Jackson, who will serve as a senior adviser, will travel to battleground states to energize Democratic support for Kerry and running mate John Edwards.

Bwahahaha!!!!

[RockinRight]

Once you bring in Jesse Jackson to help run a campaign, its over.

"Chief Fraud Advisor"

[theDentist]

What's he going to do? Teach Kerry how to seduce women who are down on their luck and seeking "ministering"?

[Roccus]

Will someone now ask Kerry what his views are on reparations?

[NRA1995]

So now his campaign is a vanilla shake with a single chocolate chip. Way to go, Jay Effin!!!!! You've just handed Bush the election!!!

However, Kerry's support among oranges has increased dramatically.

[sarasotarepublican]

Looks like Jessie got his campaign hand out from Kerry.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Their internal polling results of black voters must really stink.

[sinkspur]

Kerry will show up for the debates in black face now.

[danneskjold]

Kerry has more advisors to his campaign than he has positions on Iraq...

[nypokerface]

That's true. He usually represents that final nail.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Ahhhh yes. Jesse Jackson as a campaign advisor. I'd have to say that is a smart move, based on all of those successful campaigns that Jackson has run in the past...

[1Old Pro]

Why not Al Sharpton??

[RushCrush]

The real question, who will he bring in next?

[snooker]

The more weight you add to a sinking ship, the faster she sinks. You would think a brave boat captain would know that.

[bayourod]

He wants his share of "walkin round money." As states fall out of play lots of reverends are not going to be getting new cars this year.

[jennyjenny]

So that explains the skin tone change Kerry is sporting these days.

[trebb]

Do they have Kerry drugged or is he really that freaking stupid? Well, I guess he is stupid and arrogant and self-serving and he lies a lot, but there must be some electrons bouncing around in his head...mustn't there?
