That is a true blue democratic district. If Hank wins re-election, he can be beated by either Carter, Ruth, or Victor. <br /><br />But if Carter run that FairTax issue if she were to go on to the general election, it will sink her. It might appeal to the northern end of Dekalb Co, but I doubt it will in central & south Dekalb.<br /><br />Carter has the support of a braod range of voters, which will help her in the long run. If I were living up there. We'll have to wait & see how this turns out!Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899457461643850804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084429012972393947.post-35910406213609002842010-06-18T10:47:25.560-04:002010-06-18T10:47:25.560-04:00Race won't be a factor when blacks stop remind...Race won't be a factor when blacks stop reminding us that they're black and they only care about black issues. Perhaps all races ought to be run anonymously, without pictures, just words to reflect their personal views. It is my observation that blacks are more biased when it comes to voting. They prefer to vote for their "own kind" as I've heard many of them say. Until I see changes in the "black community," I will be calling them on their hypocrisy. And I want to remind everyone, that Obama is HALF WHITE!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084429012972393947.post-13406311143346136252010-06-17T22:53:37.138-04:002010-06-17T22:53:37.138-04:00I appreciate your blog, but there's a couple o...I appreciate your blog, but there's a couple of items:<br /><br />1) Victor did not serve in the Gulf War...Larry Gauss (another Republican candidate) did<br /><br />2) You made an excellent case for Liz Carter by listing a lot of the major supporters who know she's the best candidate<br /><br /><br />The primary problem with Ruth's campaign is that he has been touting exactly what your title suggests....that he's the only one that should win because he's black. That's really all he's been saying. I have no problem with strong candidates of any color, especially when they espouse my beliefs, however, when that's your only self-admitted qualification...its a big problem.<br /><br />You asked why Liz has garnered the most attention. It's simple: She knows how to motivate the base AND win the hearts and minds of traditional democrats. I can't count the number of black democrats that have come to her, willing to listen to her views and walk away convinced she's the right person for the job.<br /><br />The color of your skin should never be the sole qualifier for any political office. It's the "content of your character"...I seem to remember that from somewhere else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084429012972393947.post-19783264850511871092010-06-17T21:13:57.252-04:002010-06-17T21:13:57.252-04:00Our disire is to be color blind, however, the fact...Our disire is to be color blind, however, the fact remains that the 4th Congressional District is predominately black, and black folks will be more open to voting for a black Republican candidate who has good social values.Blacks will not be willing to vote for a white candidate;who to them, is anthitetical to thier "black president" and his agenda to right the "injustices" that they have suffered.<br /><br />Black voters are not that politically mature, and Conservatives haven't done the rquired work to address the misguided notions that blacks have with regard to the issues of the day.Floyd D.
