I heard that call. It was great!
Its not as hopeless as it seems. If just 4 to 5% of blacks switch, its the beginning of the end of the Democratic Party. You can bet they don't want Herman Cain in the Senate opposite Barack Obama.
I am living in GA because that is where my uncle (U.S.) sent me. I have seriously considered changing my state of residence just so I could vote for Herman Cain. I hope that he marks a change not only in Georgia politics, but on the national scene as well.
Blacks will continue to back the party that has enslaved them.
Georgia is an open-primary state.
I wonder how many blacks will choose to vote in the GOP primary simply to vote for him.
(Businessmen with no political experience do not fare well in GA. Just ask Guy Millner)
If the GOP got even 20% of the black vote, the Democrat Party would be over.
Isn't this exactly what Limbaugh was saying before the 2000 election; that blacks we're disenchanted with the democrats and were either not going to vote or vote for Bush.
In reality, I believe it was a record turnout for blacks, and they didn't vote republican.
Truth!

No. Most savvy political commentators said back in 2000 that the minority voting patterns nationwide would duplicate Governor Bush's Texas performances in 1994 and 1998 (rising percentages voted for him after getting to know him).
It's a start.

Of course the GOP should try and increase its share of the black vote. And the Hispanic vote. And the Asian vote.....But Bush didn't exactly light it up with white voters last time, garnering just 54% of their vote nationwide. Considering the opposition openly and actively supports blatantly anti-white policies like racial preferences, 54% is pathetic. Bush the elder got 59%in 1988. Reagan got 64% in 1984. For all the talk about Bush needing to increase his share of the Hispanic vote to 40% to win reelection noone ever points out how if Bush could repeat his father's success with whites then he'd win in a landslide.
Of course I'm sure Bush did better with whites in the South, but still I'll bet there is room for improvement even there.
I'm for Mac Collins, who is much better than Isakson.
Isakson ran for the GOP primary in 1994 and 1996 (Senate and Gov) on a 100% pro-choice platform.
Prior to his opportunistic run for Newt's old seat, he was truly a moderate Republican. That's why he failed to win in those 2 statewide races.
He knew he had to become more conservative to win a statewide primary, hence his changing of spots the last few of years.
(And by the way, he was more liberal in other ways than being pro-choice as well)
That is not going to happen on a national basis. First of all, the claim that Bush got 49% of the latino vote in 1998 was disputed by other sources, but even if its true then he lost ground with them in 2000 when he got 44% of their support vs Gore.
Bush's landslide Texas victories have been due to his winning 70+% of the state's white vote. His performane with whites nationwide was almost 20 points lower, so he needs to not only work on doing better with non-whites, but also with whites. Though I guess you're not supposed to say that. I mean, the Dems can openly go after any and all groups including Southern, rural, and suburban whites, plus their base of non-white supporters, but for the GOP to be politically correct and to not run afoul of the diversity police, then they can only openly seek to do better with non-whites (for which they'll be ridiculed for being insincere) while for them to openly and actively court more of what is actually their base will bring up charges of the evil 'Southern Strategy'.
But it GA. Cain will win the General election with easy. He can fill the hole left by Phil Gram on the Right in the Senate.
There sure wasn't much if any applause for kerry yesterday at the NAALCP. Sure didn't look motivated at all.
