Biden to air 90-minute radio programs targeting Black voters

[Jim from C-Town]

Joe Biden sends phonograph records to Democrats with message to VOTE!

[CatOwner]

No one has to listen to Biden talk for 90 minutes. The news agencies will tell you what he said, and they’ll do it in short sentences, omitting the numerous gaffs that are likely to be there.

[SERKIT]

If Comma-La was dragged out from the bottom of the Dem Presidential candidate ash heap specifically to attract black voters, why isn't SHE doing these pander-fests on the gospel stations?

Can't she muster up a good vocal affectation like Hillary? "Ah ain't no waze tarred...!"

Maybe not since she grew up in Canada, eh?

[Tax-chick]

There might be some people who just have the radio station on while they’re hanging around at home and might hear it unintentionally.

Panic

[dsrtsage]

90 minutes of a white guy berating black people ought to spike the enthusiasm

[hsmomx3]

His 90 minutes of babbling would put me to sleep.

[Rebelbase]

If it airs at 10pm or later expect sales of sleep aids to decline.

[Rebelbase]

Airhead America.

[PghBaldy]

No way is it 45%.

[wareagle7295]

It was never 45% planned to vote for him, it was 45% job approval. I think that approval jumped (from the mid 20s), because many blacks were already weary of Biden, and then he compounded the issue by refusing to discuss the plan with Cube, but Trump and his team did.

Early voting data show African American voters are turning out in droves to vote early, just as in previous years. More than 5.4 million Black voters have cast a ballot so far this year, up from about 3 million at this point in the 2016 contest, according to TargetSmart Consulting, a Democratic firm tracking the early vote.

In several states including Texas and Georgia, the number of older Black voters who have cast a ballot already exceeds the total number who voted in 2016, including on Election Day.

How does this square with your data showing the turnout is supposedly going to be way down?

[wareagle7295]

But make no mistake about it...this is a Hail Mary pass with time running out. I think this combined with the Biden/Obama trip to Michigan tells me they know they are hurting for support from a group they must keep 90% of.

[a fool in paradise]

Put the record on, C’mon man!

[a fool in paradise]

Are Biden and Harris doing a reboot of Burns and Allen?

[Don Corleone]

Radio??? That’s when the picture tube has blown out isn’t it?

[LS]

TargetSmart uses estimates and models. I only go by actual data as in NC where they are down 3 points.

GA will be a tad higher because of a black US Senate Candidate, and remember 15% of these are voting Trump.

[Army Air Corps]

Joe could put tweakers to sleep.

[xp38]

Ah that takes me back to the good old days and the Semaphore Version of Wuthering Heights!

[shelterguy]

I’m surprised he doesn’t go on the record player and tell his story.
