I am from Ohio and I find your remarks about Mr. Steele and Mr. Blackwell as being tokens is racist. You should lose your job, but Iam sure you are a Dem so it is Ok to be racist.

Just what makes a good Senator? The color of One's skin is not the deciding factor and if race was interjected into this campaign, it was by the media and NOT by the candidates. And more on topic, looks like the Republicrates are in control, look who won, more moderates than those with a liberal agenda.

I cannot believe you are predicting a winner in the Steele Cardin race when the current numbers still show Steele ahead. The media never learns its lesson.

Reread: He wrote that "black Republican candidates were rejected by black voters . . ." That doesn't mean they didn't win.

With Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court, we certainly don't need his likes in the Senate. As far as most Blacks were concerned, Blackwell and Steele would not have complimented the needs and aspirations of Black Americans. I know it's hard to believe, but Black voters don't intend to be fooled again, Afterall, we had no choice with Thomas' appointment. Now, just maybe, others will think twice before allowing themselves to be used this way...

It's absurd to me that this post is considered racist. It's unclear why arguing that black people are given less credit than their due in regards to their ability to make informed voting decisions is beyond me.

Perhaps even more alarming, though, is the notion that the candidates haven't made race an issue in their campaigns. Even if no one ever mentioned the word or the concept, it has been a part of all of their platforms since Day 1.
