On the stump, [Denise] Majette, who scored "98 percent" introverted on a personality test, can be tentative and nervous. One-on-one she can be poised and articulate, even outspoken.
During a recent interview, she ridiculed Cain, an African-American, for telling voters that when the founding fathers spoke of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," they meant "life from conception."
"Black folks didn't even count as being human. We were chattel," Majette said. "The only way Herman Cain got to be able to stand up in a room full of white folks talking about how he defines life is because there were courageous people who put their lives on the line and 'activist judges' who interpreted the body of law to make that possible."
The only thing judges needed to do was to apply the law equally no matter who was in their court. If the law itself was the problem, which in many cases it was, it was the responsibility of the legislatures to change it.
Please, Georgia, vote for Herman Cain.
And then those courageous people looked about them and said: "Where are the Democrats?" And in 1864 and 1964, they were at last found, standing in the backyard with a gun to the head of a black man.
Your true friends, Majette, are those who help you when it puts them at risk, not when it politically benefits them.
