It would be intersting to have a conservative African American reporter go into certain sections of DC and report accurately on why folks there would be voting FOR Obama. The repsonses would be equally uninformed and equally racist as the cherry picked comments printed in the Post via Saslaw. Of course, they’d be from the PC point of view, so acceptable. ‘course it ain’t gonna happen.
