Oh no - it's a great speech. But I've heard so many black people espousing the exact same ideas as in this speech, then turn around and say they just can't vote for a Republican, or how John Kerry really cares, or some such, that I've lost faith that there'll be any significant shift in the vote.
Cuyahoga County looks awfully blue, there. Likewise Washington DC. Just to pick a couple of examples. Do you suppose they will be "Kerry" coloured or "Bush" coloured in November, 2004?
