Who's "Our" Candidate?
 

Which of the presidential candidates (including Bush) do you think best represents the interests of Black Americans? In recoginition of our intra-group diversity, feel free to specify whether you think a particular candidate would be better for a particular group, i.e. Lieberman represents middle class Blacks the best because of XYZ.

Its not Al Sharpton.
I think there are aspects of each candidate that reflect the needs of some of the Black community.

John McCain.

Oh wait - that was 2000. You mean I have to pick someone *now*? ;)

I'd have to say that at this point, our best options lie with Howard Dean (as much as I hate to admit it) and John Edwards. I like Wesley Clark, and I'm encouraged by the knowledge that his personal assistant is a young brother from LA, but even with his record I'm not sure that he's caught people's imagination enough.

I still don't know who the heck to vote for. Thank heavens November is still months away.

Not a whole of choices but Right Now, I'm leaning towards Howard Dean.

Having a tough time
 

I am. I really want a pro-business moderate Demo to vote for. Sen. Edwards seems interesting, but he can be smacked with the "trial lawyer" bludgeon. Gen. Clark is also fairly interesting. I don't see Dr. Dean being electable in a general.

Well being that we are a huge race of people...I dont think any one candidate can represent a whole race of people's beliefs....because we are all different....to imply that it is possible would be saying that we are monolithic in what we believe...however we do seem to be quite monolithic in how we vote at the polls...:rolleyes:

The only Democratic candidate I'd vote for is Lieberman...my spirituality is more important to me than my race

George Bush.

I'm going with Rev. Al.

why?
 

Interesting. Why do you think so, considering African-Americans voted against him 9-1? I'm not trying to be a jerk, I really want to know.
