This is not good news for Democrats, who need only look back to 1994 to see the effects of low black-voter turnout combined with large-scale Jewish support for Republican candidates. That year, the GOP captured Congress and a majority of the nation's governor's mansions. Without the support of Jews and blacks, Democrats look likely to live with those results for some time to come.

Okay, people. It's GUT CHECK time. The time has come for the Republicans in general and the Right in particular to reevaluate how it appeals to the pool of voters.

Both younger blacks and Jews are far and away more receptive to the conservative message than their parents and grandparents are and/or were.

What are you going to do about it? Will you take advantage, or, will you do what you've always done?

It's up to you.

Go for it, of course.

I'm very sure the Jewish support is coming - as the so-called "civil rights leaders" stick with the Palestineans. If anything, the hard-core left is driving them to the GOP. Just keep supporting Israel, and we'll be fine on that front.

What are you going to do about it? Will you take advantage, or, will you do what you've always done?

Why do you think 95% of blacks voted for Gore? Do you think the average black voter was stupid enough to believe those Jasper, Texas hit pieces that the Democrats aired? What do you suggest the Republicans do to get the message out that we believe in black people as individuals who have the power and intelligence to live their own lives?

I work in high tech and every black I work with is educated, skilled and conservative. There has to be a way to get the message that Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams and Clarence Thomas have out in the world of ideas to compete with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

What we need is a massive black middle class, in debt up to their eyeballs, looking at sending 2.3 children to college and hoping the transmission on the Ford holds out until after Christmas. In short, a part of the American Dream.

"What are you going to do about it? Will you take advantage, or, will you do what you've always done?", you write.
What would you have us do? Put our platform in shiny cloth and sequins? The Republican message is there to be enjoyed by anyone who can see the wisdom of it. When Blacks & Jews stop voting emotionally, they will vote for someone other than the next pandering hypno-Democrat.
Now you want to join the pandering to the black demographic. No thanks. Let them join us because they see the wisdom of our ideas- then we'll have them forever.

I agree with your assessment!
