I could be mistaken, but it seems that in recent years, more and more minorities are voting their conscience, rather than for the promises the Rats have made over and over.Nice try. The trend is the opposite direction. Any pickup would most likely be due to the party moving left, rather than the brown-skinned electorate moving right.Not only blacks, but hispanics as well seem to be joining the conservative side. This seems to be a trend, since GWB took office. The fall elections might give us some insight. I expect to see a small but perceptable right drift among minorities.
