Maynard Jackson was pushed aside for Terry McAuliffe. Carl McCall's money was diverted to McBride in Florida. The Minnesota Supreme Court justice, who is a formal football star and black (name escapes me) was passed over in favor of Fritz Mondale. Harold Ford was not only passed over for Nancy Pelosi, but Pelosi made a good try at humiliating him in public.
Excellent analysis of govbeancounters post, MissMarple.
Why oh why won't we hear one of the stuffed shirt GOP Senators on todays talk shows point any of this out?

They are afraid, I suspect. The 'stuffed shirts' are 'gutless wonders'. There is a reason why they kept voting for Lott. He didn't put them on the spot or force them to make tough decisions.
Left to defend themselves or the party, like Lott, they would default to "pander mode".
If the case is going to be made, it will have to be made by the President. Who, I believe, is fully capable of doing so.
Personally, I'm not concerned by how the Dems or the media promote and react to all this "racist" garbage. We know what they're going to do, regardless of what we might do.
I am much more concerned about the response of the middle class black families. Our message about conservative policies should be targeted to them. And, if what we do and say resonates with them, we will win the battle -- even if it isn't evident until the polls close in November, 2004.
