I havent done a diary in a long time, but I thought this was worthy of note. I was looking at the
national republican senatorial committee website, thats known as www.nrsc.org, and I leafed through the site to see what the enemy was saying and I found this...
"Four of those standard bearers -- Pete Coors of Colorado, former Representative John Thune of South Dakota, Representative Jim DeMint of South Carolina, and Representative Johnny Isakson of Georgia (who's essentially assured of victory because he's running against a black female Democrat) -- joined Allen at the press event. The Republicans' newly minted nominee in Florida, former Housing & Urban Development Secretary Mel Martinez, and former Representative Tom Coburn in Oklahoma -- who weren't in New York -- are both given good odds of winning their respective races..."
on the front page of their website. How absolutely ridiculous. Now, Im not actually saying the Majette has a chance of winning. However, I will say that she has no chance of winning because she is an underfunded late entrant in a conservative state. But the Republicans wanted to point out that the Democrats had the gall to nominate a black female. I mean, as if being black or a woman alone isnt bad enough. </sarcasm>. The question is what do we do about this relatively clear sign of racism... any ideas?
