I think the Right so prizes their black conservatives that if they could have their way they'd
have them stuffed and mounted and placed on prominent display in a trophy case, in the Reagan library, or some such place.
Let's explore why the Left needs to enlist blacks....
But, the Dems can's take a chance on losing the black constituency....so, here we are.
They're pretty much saddled with this donkey.
"...what would happen if a smaller percentage of blacks turned out:
- At 90 percent black turn-out, WisconsinÂ’s 10 electoral votes slide into the GOP column.
- At 75 percent black turn-out, PennsylvaniaÂ’s 21 electoral votes go Republican.
- At 70 percent MichiganÂ’s 17 electoral votes turn from blue to red.
- At 50 percent the GOP collects DelawreÂ’s three electoral votes.
I donÂ’t know what a realistic number to project is for the effects of angry black apathy, but IÂ’ll stop at 50 percent. It may be that going as low as 75 percent is unrealistic. Most likely itÂ’s impossible to say. (And this doesnÂ’t take into account things like congressional districts where black voters make the margin of difference.)"

Isn't it astounding how regularly you ram your foot in your mouth?
Am I brilliant....or you just stupid?
