I heard Mr. Bush is planning to speak before the Urban League's annual convention (August/Detroit?). Pragmatically, he probably can only hope to increase on the 8 percent AfAm vote he got in 2K, by a few percentage points. The NAACP situation was handled badly for a candidate, let alone the sitting president. I think Bush's strategy for AfAm voting interests involves playing to issues some polls say have resonance within our community, i.e., the ban on gay marriage, school vouchers, etc...
If memory serves, the elder Bush (41) got about 10-11 percent of the AfAm vote.
...are you registered? are your family, friends?
