Rev. Al was interviewed on the Black Entertainment News Program 'Lead Story' about his new book 'Al on America' where he said that black Americans should seek a divorce from the Democratic Party after agreeing with President Bush in the 2002 elections. (and not providing an opposition party) He commented that his candidacy would be in part to prevent minority voters from becoming a 'scarlett mistress' of the Democratic Party who ask for black votes and give little in return.
