Obama Woos Black Voters -- Carefully?


What kind of stupid sentence is that? "Wooing them without alienating whites." Has anyone ever asked of a previous Presidential candidate, "Can you woo the white vote without alienating the black vote**?" Stupid people.

Sen. Barack Obama's strategists "believe they have identified a gold mine of new and potentially decisive Democratic voters in at least five battleground states -- voters who failed to turn out in the past but can be mobilized this time because Obama's candidacy is historic and his cash-rich campaign can afford the costly task of identifying and motivating such supporters," according to the Los Angeles Times.

They are "quietly laying plans to draw African American voters to the polls in unprecedented numbers by capitalizing on the excitement over the prospect of electing the nation's first black president... The trick lies in wooing them without alienating whites."



**other than in a Strom Thurmond/David Duke kinda way
