Three African-Americans To WatchMaryland: Michael Steele moves ahead in senate race. Steele(R) 49….Cardin(D) 47%  TENNESSEE: Congressman Harold Ford Jr. (D)-48%, rises above opponent- former Mayor Bob Corker (R) - 46%…OHIO: Congressman Ted Strickland (D) - 56%, Secretary of State Ken Blackwell (R) - 39%, retired college professor Bill Peirce (Libertarian) - 1%..

The African-American Vote could decide these races. Steele is polling appro. 40%A.A…Ford is winning appro.93%, but Blackwell is scoring in the low 20.s. Who is behind the nasty ads targeting Black Voters, calling Black women hoes.

What do you think, inquiring minds wants to know.

NORTH CAROLINA: Things  Getting Strange on Planet Robinson
Vernon Robinson (R-NC) likes to describe himself as “the black Jesse Helms.” Over the years Robinson has lost two bids for State Superintendent of Public Instruction and a run for Congress two years ago in a different district. His penchant for outrageous conduct. His current run against CD-13 Congressman Brad Miller (D) is no exception. The two men debated this week and Robinson was true to form. Spending much of the debate talking about sex, Robinson charged that Miller “wants to import homosexuals” into the state and supported studies “that would pay teenage girls” to watch porn. Miller refused to take Robinson seriously, spending much of the debate clearly enjoying the absurdity of Robinson’s comments and chuckling aloud

We  think it is imperative that we educate our people about politics and its impact upon them and their families. The two party system is good for AA’s because that way, our Vote is Not Taken For Granted or Totally Ignored. We want to share things with other AA’s and others. Thank you for  visiting our site.

As is customary of all candidates on our site, we remind you of our motto:Judge Candidates on their Deeds Rather Than their Political Parties.

You will find Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and others. 

Take a long look at these politicians and

visit his/her web site.

Again, we remind you to look at the candidate’s history and issues before making your final decision. It is imperative that we not allow our Vote to be taken for Granted or Totally Neglected
