The Battle for the Black Vote in 2004Political Commentary By Kevin L. Martin The general election of 2004 remains some 15 months away as I write this, and already presidential candidates on both sides are lining up to corral the black vote.

Black liberal Democrat activists Jesse Jackson, Julian Bond and Ron Waters have been howling up a storm over...

Former Ku Klux Klansman Sen. Robert Byrd is angry at President Bush - not because he spent taxpayer dollars to pay a congratulatory visit to an aircraft carrier bearing the men and women who helped defeat Saddam Hussein.

Kevin Martin: Black Caucus Fears Senate's Ex-Klansman A Washington, D.C.-based civil rights leader said Wednesday that the Congressional Black Caucus fears the political clout of ex-Ku Klux Klansman, Sen. Robert Byrd, and that's why they haven't demanded his resignation for repeatedly using an ugly racial epithet last year. "The Congressional Black Caucus lives in fear of Robert Byrd," said Kevin Martin, head of African-American Republican Leadership Council, on Wednesday.
