Youngs Turks on Sarah for Saxby
The estimated attendence for Saxby's rally at the James Brown Arena was 2000 (some say higher). A visual count by my friend found five African-Americans. He may have miscounted, but the number was low. Very low. Under one percent of visitors to a rally of one of the major political parties drawing almost exclusively white people in a city that is majority black people. What does that say?
Deke, the mayor of the people, couldn't make it to the rally. According to his office, he was away on personal business. But he did send his regards, which were conveyed at the rally.
How did Augusta vote in the runoff? Democrat. Jim Martin beat Saxby Chambliss 59% to 41%. It's always fun to look at the breakdown by precincts.

Why is I keep hearing that the people that were pulling for and voted Mr. Obama are not prejudicial, particularly in realm of race relations? But here is an article that infers that there were not any or very few blacks persons in attendance at a Republican rally. Now I must assume that the article also is also inferring that black people are more informed and astute than the majority of the white people due to the fact their attendance at the rally was very minute.
ReplyDeleteno. if i'm implying anything, it's that republicans here, or at least chambliss or palin supporters are almost all white when the town is far from all white.
