According to CNN's stats, the black GOP vote increased to 11% of the total electorate, a 3% increase over the 2000 figures.
As I've said repeatedly, anything beyond a single percentage point increase is something that must be considered a total victory for black voter outreach by the Republican Party.
I'm very pleased.

Double-barrelled Mega-PING! to both lists! If you want on, FReepmail me!
Actually, that's probably based on the same crappy exit polls we saw yesterday. I bet it's more.
And I hope you're right!
That's a what..35% INCREASE in the total black vote?
Like I said, David killed Goliath with a small pebble. Black republicans/conservatives have been vindicated and energized.
If you turn on CNN, Wolf, Judy and Bill look as if their best friend died....
LOL!
I think this trend is only going to continue.
Did you see the CBC news conference earlier today.. It was on C-span.. I caught a little..Probably rebroadcast tonite, or on the website...the usual crapola..
The numbers should be higher. Bush made inroads in solid Democrat strongholds. I think it is pretty safe to assume that the exit pollsters didn't always get honest answers from this demographic either.
And this is based on the phony exit polls? I guess you could then about 3 to 5% to that number...
Well, here's one, if you can believe it.

Again, if this statistic is based upon the exit polls, it's nonsense. Probably larger.
Note: Those were exit polls. Very unreliable this year
Oh, it figures. They'll be crying in their milk for awhile.
I've got a spitload of writing to do on this. Maybe now, I can finish my book before the end of the year (then comes the hard part -- finding someone to publish it!)
Celebrate the fact that Puffy's Vote or Die campaign DIED! BWAHAHAHA!
Maybe the black people lied to the exit pollsters?
;)
Given that the exit polls were pure crap with no predictive value whatsoever, how do we know this?
Combs' attempt to "become political" was stillborn. The only person in the so-called hip-hop generation who was able to do anything was Russell Simmons, and he didn't do much.
