It is happening as black become more educated and affluent they are becoming Republicans one example is Charles Barkley whe he said I make too much money to vote and be a Democrat. It was priceless but very eyeopening.

[D-Chivas]

The worst fear for Democrats: that black Republicans get elected and govern well.

If black voters start leaving the Democrats for Independent or Republican registrations, kiss the Dems goodbye.

I've read about Ken Blackwell some, and he's pure solid gold. He's a true heir to the ideas of the Reagan revolution.

[eureka!]

Hence, the Katrina race card cr*p from the MSM. Also, I thank Hillary for her "plantation" comment. Hehehehe....

Correction: Black candidates are highly threatening to white Democrat political leaders.

That needed saying.

"Far away from the speeches ranting of Jesse Jackson, the demands ranting of Al Sharpton and the ranting of Louis Farrakhan..."

There, that's a little more accurate, I think.

[Nightbird]

Okay, Dick really has been phoning it in lately. This "article" has two major flaws.

First, he says America has never had an African-American governor of either party.

Doesn't he remember Doug Wilder from Virginia? He was governor, not that long ago either.

Second, who is this Al Sharpton operative? And why would Hillary need Al to vouch for her against Condi in South Carolina?

A. Al ran for president and got smoked in SC. Lost big time even among black voters. Why would anyone think that having Al "vouch" for you down there would be helpful.

B. Why would Hillary need anyone to vouch for her in SC? SC is an important primary but is not contested in general elections for president. Is this "Sharpton operative" suggesting they'd be in a primary down there? For which party exactly?

None of this makes any sense. Am i wrong?

But given a chance to find black candidates who share the electorate's vision, most white voters jump at the chance.

Despite what the race pimps tell us, most people in this country are not bigots. The simple fact is, remove the words "black" and "white" from the above quote, and the meaning doesn't change one bit -- those qualifiers only serve to emphasize that voters are generally color-blind, caring far more about issues than the color of a candidate's skin.

It would shove a knife right in the heart of the DNC if TWO Black governors are elected (which according to polling data is at least a 50/50 or better shot) in November...and both are Republicans!

[RockinRight]

Asked to accept liberal ideology and big tax-and-spend programs as the price of supporting black candidates, many voters say no. But given a chance to find black candidates who share the electorate's vision, most white voters jump at the chance.

In other words, unlike liberals (who race-bait everything), for conservatives, it's not about color, it's about positions on the issues.

[popdonnelly]

We used to have black Governors in this country. Back during Reconstruction. And they were all Republicans.

[SoFloFreeper]

These are not throwaway candidates in states where the GOP has no chance of victory. These are real candidates, chosen when there were plenty of white alternatives, that are en route to their party's nomination, with real chances to win.

Who the hell is Dick Morris writing to? Who is his audience? This information is common knowledge among the readers of frontpage, isn't it? What is a travesty is the inability of this news--the news that the Republican party is more diverse than the caricature drawn by the MSM and the 'rats--to get widespread acceptance and recognition. Instead, we're treated to idiotic ramblings like the ones we saw yesterday by Jimmy Carter and that "no more for the poor" preacher.

Yesterday a victory celebration/parade was held in honor of the Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl win. Lynn Swann, in his capacity as former Steeler and Hall of Famer, was one of the emcee's for the event. When Mr. Swann first arrived at the mike, the crowd of thousands assembled in Pittsburgh's Gateway Center started spontaneously chanting 'Governor, Governor.' Swann smiled and said 'this day is about the Black and Gold...' Our current Governor, democrat 'Fast Eddie' Rendell was in attendance...but decided to view the proceedings from the upper floor of a local office building rather than share the stage with Mr. Swann. Bill Scranton, Swann's opposition in the Republican primary, dropped out of the race yesterday, so Swann has the Republican nomination in the bag. Great news about Ohio as well.

One in every three Dem voters is black or Hispanic. Despite being loyal constituencies, they are not given many opportunities to run for statewide and national office. The Dem party is controlled by a thin veneer of white, male liberals who are the real plantation owners. A shift of even 10% to 15% of the black vote to the GOP would spell the end of the Dems as a major, national party.

[ArrogantBustard]

But given a chance to find black candidates who share the electorate's vision, most white voters jump at the chance.

Gee ... maybe most Americans don't give a rat's rear end about "race" after all. Maybe it's ideology/political philosophy that really matters.

Ya think?

Maybe?

[Antoninus]

At some point, Blacks are going to start to wake up to how much the Democrats have used them over the past 50 years.

[MEGoody]

Isn't it interesting that while the liberals scream that Republicans are racists, the Republican party is quietly placing qualified minority individuals into positions of power.

It boils down to this: All that screaming the liberals do is a coverup for their own racial biases.

I can only read every other one of Little Dick Morris's pieces since he alternates between telling the truth and lying to get attention. This one is one of his reasonable pieces. The next one will say that he expects the rat to retake the House in November. It's just his stupid way. He even reported on a poll showing Bloomberg + 14 over his challenger and said the numbers told him that Bloomy was going to lose. See you the week after next Little Dick.
