[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 882442, member: 2189"] The fact that Obama is making these kinds of public statements indicates the assurance of a solid voting bloc, in this case the African American bloc, is not guaranteed. Bruce Dixon at [URL="http://www.blackagendareport.com/content/barack-obama-vs-those-craaaazy-republicans-he-lesser-evil-or-more-effective-evil"][COLOR=#ff0000]Black Agenda Report[/COLOR][/URL] is a good example among an ever large growing reason as to why this is the case. And not that white progressives are [URL="http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/two_heads_of_one_political_monster_20110922/"][COLOR=#ff0000]helping [/COLOR][/URL]the Obama cause either! When a growing segment of both republicans and democrats both realize and agree there is no difference between the red state or blue state brands, the worse case scenario for those brands, those awakened voters start talking to one another. Fear of each other begins to wane and the most powerful weapon the 2 parties have, fear of the other, disappears and then ever growing numbers abandon the 2 parties for a 3rd party or independent alternatives or just stay home altogether because the product is just not worth the charge on the voter's credit card.
