Blacks should start making up their wish lists, because this is really going to be their year. Republicans are running very good black candidates in Ohio, Md, and Penn and threatening to run Rice in 08. So far all the Dems can do is call Republicans racists, but if they lose a hunk of the black vote, they are toast.
Well, yes, no question...and the good news is that a much higher percentage of under-30 African Americans are voted GOP (as are younger Jews) than the dyed-in-the-wool 50+ y/os.
