We hear this sort of "news" every election cycle, yet when it comes to pulling the lever in the voting booth, more than 90% of the AA community votes "D". This is especially true during presidential elections.

I am not saying conservatives/GOP should not pursue the AA vote, but we can never count on it when push comes to shove.

“AA”??? You mean African American? Does that mean black? Tell me, if they demanded you refer to them as

“Americans of Eastern, and Sometimes Western African Origins Dating Back to Earlier Centruries, and Occassionally Mixed With Races Other Than European, or African Personages” would you do it?

How deeply must you bow when using their exalted, magisterial, 7 syllable “formal title”?

We should never count on anyone's vote.

Depends on what you mean by count on it….the Dem math fails if black turn out is down and that figure ever drops below 90. Both are likely to happen in 2014.

If the GOP could ever get to 15% - or more - ruins the Democrat coalition.

Its going to take a sustained effort, but it first takes the GOP even recognizing there is an opportunity. I pointed to Obama’s “My Brothers Keeper” scheme because it shows THEY are looking at the polling data and seeing the threat...but is the RNC? That will be the question.
