When Republicans run for office they ingnore blacks because it is hopeless to expect enough votes to make a difference. I do not see it as logical to put yourself into position to be ignored. I think that the only reason other than family and peer presure for blacks to stay in the democrat party is because they still control house committies. That is changing fast and Rankin county will see the change first. I have already seen primaries in Rankin County where there were no contested Democrat races. If blacks want to vote at all they have to vote Republican and are starting to do it. <br /><br />I know a few "Republicans" who still want to keep blacks out of the white party. They are all from the country club side of the party. If there is no Democrat primary in Rankin and the Republican primary features a slate of CC vs. CR races It is possable to clean house. <br /><br />Typically blacks assume that they are targets of conspiracies. It probably does not happen as often as many think but there is a real reason to believe that. Ask most black democrats about the good buddy system and you will find out fast why they do not trust Republicans. Ask the same people about homo marrage, abortion, crime, or any of the other morality issues and you would think you are talkng to republicans. Find a hand full of Christian Republicans who have the trust of blacks and the GOP split you spoke of will come in the form of a CC purging and the Gop will gain both in total numbers and in numbers of TC's (total conservatives).Cliff Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171184158740570981noreply@blogger.com
