lol speaking of chutzpah

This article talks about evidence whites tend to blame blacks for black poverty, and that Republicans do so more than Democrats. Fair enough, but it provides no evidence at all that this was a major issue in the election, or that this was any worse now than it was in, say, 2006.

I'm sure had it been a white Democrat against a black Republican, many current Republicans wouldn't have hesitated for a second to split their tickets.

The results of the 2013 Virginia lieutenant gubernatorial election suggest otherwise...

While there were more than a few Cuccinelli/Northam counties throughout the state; Southwest Virginia, the whitest and most conservative part of the state, had no problem voting for Jackson over Northam.

Many of those who voted for Jackson, it's true, surely knew nothing about his race or anything else about him apart from his party. It is interesting however that SW Virginia is the one region with several counties that voted for both Wilder in 1989 and Jackson in 2013.
