How so? Do you really think a Black candidate would have a hard time winning statewide in VT, NJ, DE, MD (Brown didn't lose because of racism), CA, MI, CT and VA? You're quite pessimistic Tongue

I wasn't really being serious.  Those are the two states where at least two blacks have won a senatorial or gubernatorial election since Reconstruction.  I just felt like correcting Monarch's post. Obviously blacks can (and have) won statewide elsewhere.
