I really like this idea. I think it is a great way to divide the DemonRATs and show the minorities that our policies are the best for their future.

Call it "Contract with Minority America".

I like the plan, but find myself flummoxed as to how exactly to package it. It's not as if we thought that blacks alone were going to elect a majority to Congress--and a bunch of Republicans at that.

So the truth is that it is simply a relabeling of good Republican principle for its benefits to minorities. That is not nothing, even among whites--the Democrats make a killing not only among blacks but with some whites on their "compassion". Whites want to think well of themselves and, by-and-large, believing that their vote is good for minorities matters to them.
