Kirk?s appeal ran much deeper than the average black democrat, because he was the former popular mayor of Dallas, a predominantly Republican (and white) electoral base.

That is a myth promoted by the Kirk campaign. Dallas proper is not a conservative city anymore. It's just another urban democrat ghetto. Throw in all the suburbs of the metroplex and yeah, the Dallas area leans conservative republican. But Ron Kirk was NEVER elected mayor of all of that - only the Democrat infested city of Dallas proper.

Yes indeed, the Dallas that "spat" on Adlai Stevenson in 1963 is no more!!!!!! Dallas elected a Republican to Congress as early as 1954. But it is no longer a conservative city proper. Almost no cities anywhere are conservative in the central areas.
