Not for a while. Mississippi will become Democratic in a few decades when it becomes black majority.
Isn't that rather presumptuous? Where is it written than blacks must and will vote Democrat? The Democrats continue to push a policy that says that blacks need a helping hand to succeed (affirmative action), continue to feel entitled to black support at elections; by contrast, the Repulbicans continue to push individualism, diversity and personal responsibility. What exactly is it that gives the other party such arrogance - I was about to say confidence - that "black" equates to "democrat'?
That's the point. democrats are bound and determined to wipe their party out. abortion kills potential demo-voters, while affirmative action educates blacks (even if it is in a liberal brainwash situation) and they will soon remove the symbolic leash from around their necks, and take off the blindfold. its already happening. Even though 3% may not seem like much, Bush gained that many (~300,000) blacks from the 2000 election to the 2004 election.If Condoleezza Rice is nominated, and there is no black woman as the Democrat's nominee; the divide could stretch all the way to 50/50. it is possible. 39% (~3,900,000) change in votes would be a major blow to their party. even a 10% change is very significant. If Condi is our nominee, she will pick up about 20-50% of the Black vote. That is why we need Condi to run. Hilary can't win against a black woman. Period.

Your crazy if you believe Rice would get anywhere near 50% of the African American vote.  I cant see her breaking 20%.

Condi's biggest weakness is she has never held elective office. If she wasn't black or a womahn, no one would've thrown her name out at all. She's a gimmick candidate, but I really doubt she'll run.

Plus, shes uncharismatic and broing as hell.  I cant watch her speak for anymore than 2-3 minutes at a time.
