As hackish as southern evangelicals are, they can’t top the African American vote. Conyers could murder somebody and still be re-elected.
Eh, African American voters voted out Bill Jefferson for Joseph Cao in 2008 of all years.
No. If a turnout among Blacks in 2008 would be normal - Jefferson would get reelected. He was defeated by coalition of some Blacks and almost all others. Even that was barely enough.
Correct. Since it was New Orleans, 3 years after Katrina, many people (mostly Blacks) must have been displaced.
