Cato, If you take a minute to study Gov. Gilmore’s record with the African American community, I think they would have a very clear distinction.

Governor Gilmore gave aide and funds to elevate HBC’s in Virginia to be schools you could be proud to attend and receive a degree from.

As Attorney General he helped spear head the effort to stop black church burnings throughout the South.

What did Warner do? He put a statue in Capitol Square…

So when it comes to issues, the choice is clear. What’s your argument Cato?

And another note: Just because it’s difficult to switch voters, does it make it not worth it? It would appear you just want to give up on a potential block of voters. What if every politician had that mentality?

You never know, Cato. A lot of African Americans went to the polls in 2006 to vote FOR the Marriage Amendment that George Allen backed and Jim Webb opposed, but then voted for Jim Webb because he was the Democrat.

John,

Do you honestly believe Gilomore will move the what is sure to be huge Obama black vote to split ticket?

Under the premise which you are suggesting Warner is doing, shouldn’t Republicans being canvassing democrat neighborhoods and areas?

Governor Gilmore won more African American vote than any other Republican in history. Shouldn’t he be trying to get those votes, which are especially important this year?

sounds to me like you need to burn some leather this weekend. Hell, you can even door knock your own house for effect.
