  • Is it that Tancredo really needs some support, or is it that Republicans would rather throw blacks off voter rolls than court their vote?

  • My nefarious thought is that the leaders don't want it known that they were at the NAACP, a villain to their base, and once they weren't coming, everybody else backed away.

    One or two black people in the crowd let the Republicans think they aren't racist, but a whole room of them is scary.

    Remember, they chose those voters in the Southern Strategy.

    (Bush regularly dodges the NAACP and the mainstream black organizations.)

  • Of Course, Bush has had 2-5% approval in the black community since Katrina.
