he will come out for affirmative action"absolutely

Of course he went on to say that he believed in affirmative action and that he hired some blacks for his staff. Whoopie, Im sure that went over great. Last I heard something like one or two percent of his staff was black.

1 for 65 now. A mail room worker, 5 for 163 from the period 1972 through 1988 when his opponent tried to embarass him with it.

If Lott is only going to have 1 black on his staff, why not a community outreach guy? Just one office worker in Mississippi, who attends functions, conveys Lott's message, not just a mail sorter. Lott's decision of course.

Why do you care if you are against AA? It shouldn't matter what percent is on his staff if they were hired for their ability to do the job.
