The way to get blacks to the polls is the way Gore did it in 2000--Lots of phone calls saying that Bush will let the Voting Rights Act expire in 2007 and that the only reason that blacks can vote is the voting rights act. So a vote for a Republican will cause blacks to lose the legal right to vote. (Someone forgot about the Reconstruction amendments to the Constitution.)

Not only did I get 3 such calls in 2000 (I live in a mostly African American Congressional District), but I heard African Americans calling the major radio stations in town repeating this nonsense as TRUTH.

So all the DEMS need to do is lots of prerecorded phone calls and lots of lying--just like 2000.

It sounds so crass, but the GOP can counter this effort by having Conservative Blacks go on "get out the vote" drives themselves. The "oreo" argument only works for the first one or two. I know several Conservative Blacks who are willing to do anything they can to "tilt" the Black community. Once the Blacks think it's equally acceptable to be Conservative, many of them will switch on just vouchers and faith-based charity initiatives alone.
