The way this election has been put on the black voters, if I was one of them I'd be saying "kiss my *ass" to Mary, and staying home. The way they use blacks gets more obvious all the time. Sooner or later they're going to start getting it and realize they should be offended. If not, then they're dumber than the average Rat.

One thing that hasn't been commented on is the overwhelming negativity of this campaign. In the past several weeks the candidates ads have abandoned saying anything positive at all about themselves and concentrated solely on attack ads against the other candidate. Whether it's turned off voters enough that a significant number say "to hell with both of you" and stay home remains to be seen.
It's even more evident in the 5th district Congressional race, in which Fletcher and Alexander are basically accusing each other of being liars and tax evaders...and frankly, I think they may both be right. I SERIOUSLY don't like either one of those guys. Why Barham didn't make a better showing in the primary is a mystery to me. He's head and shoulders above both Fletcher and Alexander in character and ideas. Maybe next time.
