He may or may not have been pandering. It's only brought up when he speaks to minorities. I wonder if it's because they're not white or because they're libs. Now I'll be really surprised when folks start crying pandering! when he addresses the usual conservative groups like NRA, pro-life,etc. It's sad that Bush can't do anything right but you can't please everyone. I wish he would speak to some conservative black groups though. Guess what though...it's all about votes and the NAACP can deliver more voters than Project 21 members..for now!
Larry Elder ain't exactly white, you know. ;)
As for the folks here at FR, quite a few did accuse him of pandering last year during the Terry Schiavo case.
