Maybe somebody here has the statistics (I don't), but my understanding is that Lott runs far better among black voters than most Republicans. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought I saw somewhere that he routinely gets 20 to 25% of the black vote, while most Republicans fall below 10%. Does anyone here have the true numbers? I've also heard that Strom Thurmond always got more black votes than the average Republican.

The answer is RINO Lott is an excellent pork barrel politician. Black people aren't voting for Lott because Lott longs for the return of the confederacy. He gets their votes because he brings home the bacon from Washington. Same reason all those Republicans voted for Tim Johnson in S Dakota...

I think you're wrong, he only got about 5% (I think that's what one recent thread said)
