Can A White Republican, Win In A Predominately Black Democratic District?

It depends on the atmosphere, and the candidate. Where I reside, the atmosphere is ripe for the picking. A certain segment of the community feel so disenchanted with the political process. They're game for anything, they think might make a change. They want to do something, even if it's wrong. The combination of poor voter turn out, dilution of the voters, and campaign and poll issues. Make for an easy target to say the least. I don't think the Black populus, is prepared to accept the conservative message. To get them to vote for it, will require trickery.

I think this is the reign of the RINO (republican in name only). In order to be elected,you can't claim your conservative views. Once you get in office, you vote as you choose. The Republicans won't point this out, they're not the one loosing. It's the people falling for this tactic. I think Harold Ford Jr., is a victim of this on the opposite end of the spectrum. To those that don't like him, now he's labeled a bluedog democrat. I tend to agree with a lot of his decisions in Washington. Only to have him come back to the voters of the 9th district and twist it around.

The same confusion and dedication, that led to this mess in the first place. Is the same mindset that will allow for an outsider to slip in office. When I say outsider,it has nothing to do with party. I mean someone who doesn't have the constituents best interest in mind. That could be someone calling themselves a Democrat or Republican. They could be male or female, black or white. The major concern should be, are they right.
