Hi, this is my first time posting a diary, so bear with me. My question is: What is being done by the Democrats to bring out the African-American vote en masse next November? I realize that this is probably the most hard-core ABB constituency out there, but does that mean that this group will actually go to the polls come Election Day? There was huge turnout for Gore in 2000, I think largely because of his association with Clinton, whose popularity with most African-Americans is unparalleled. Will we see Clinton actively stumping among the A-A community after the nomination? If Dean does become the nominee, do you think he's doing enough right now to court this demographic or is he waiting to get past Iowa and NH first?
