#3 Let me get this straight. It's a crisis if blacks (R) represent black (voters)?

Who is doing graphics today? I love the picture.

#5 Barrow, a five-term Democratic incumbent with a conservative voting record that earned him endorsements from both the National Rifle Association and the Chamber of Commerce, was the last white Democrat in Congress from the Deep South.

I'll wager he didn't get any support from the DNC either.

#6 Actually, the complete rout of the donks in the south might be the best thing that happens to blacks.

#7 E&W Coast dems have really not caught on to black voters in the south. They actually hold pretty close to their religious beliefs, which contradict the current LGBT trends. They [southern blacks] don't cotton to the illegal immigration either.

#8 blacks have been taken for granted for so long they're being thrown under the bus for the illegals vote

#9 I hope that blacks are beginning to realize that they are being used by the dem party like cheap tricks.

A rise in consciousness will cause blacks to ask of people like O, Sharpton, Jackson, et al, "Who elected YOU as leader of this outfit?"

Dems keep thumping the race card, with little results. I will vote for the man or the woman as an individual with the values that IMHO best represent this country as a whole. I do not see Dems or Pubs living up to this.

#10 For a Democrat, he was pretty conservative. He had to be, in order to get the sliver of the white vote (to accompany the 90% of the black vote*) necessary to win elections. Among GOP legislators, Barrow was more conservative than Lisa Murkowski and John Hoeven. That's about it.

* Vital for Democrats in Southern elections because Southern states have the most blacks as a % of the population.
