He may have won over blacks tonight, but he sure lost me if ANY of what I have heard is true.
He didn't win a damned thing. Black folks (i.e., black liberals) are ticked off that he came off as condescending; I'm pissed off that he shoved his foot even further down his throat in what clearly was a desperation move.
He had a shot at keeping things status quo before tonight - his Friday apology was rough, but with time, it could pass. But this? Nope. He's toast. And if we lose the Senate to the Dems, Lott has only himself to blame.
I don't believe for a second that he won any blacks over this. Not at all. He sounded so scripted..it almost felt like he knew he sounded bad and was doing it on purpose. (/conspiracy theory off)
I don't think so Howlin, they will see right through this attempt from Lott
He had a chance to pull his butt out of the fire tonight but he blew it
