If only you knew.
My mother lives in Indiana. In Northwest Indiana (where all the Democrats live), one of her co-workers, an African-American woman, showed up to vote with her mother. They were asked who they'd be voting for by two men wearing suits.
"Kerry," they said.
"Oh?" they said with a smile. "Didn't you know? Those voting democrat cast their votes tomorrow."
THAT'S why Indiana's not a swing state.
We need to get the word out not only on the Ohio problems, but also on the massive Jim Crow campaign Republicans have been waging for decades.
I was in Wisconsin, watching polls on election day, ensuring Kerry took the state.
In four years, we need Dems in every single state making sure that not a single African-American voter faces what their parents faced and what is supposed to be ancient history: Jim Crow voter suppression at the hands of Republican scum.
