INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Early voting in Indiana could offer some encouragement to presidential hopeful Barack Obama, who needs a victory in its upcoming primary after a tough few weeks on the campaign trail.
That's good news. Same thing in NC , PPP says, that in early voting, black voters have accounted for 39 percent of the turnout, more than projected. Many AAs appear to be angry:
Quote:
"Rev. Jeremiah Wright is not running for any political office," said Sharon Marshall, 59, an African American social worker from Charlotte. "And I just wish you guys (in the news media) would just leave that alone."
Jacqueline Stewart, 48, a sales consultant from east Charlotte, leaned toward Clinton before the controversy. Wednesday, she voted for Obama.
"The media blew everything out of proportion," she said. "If you're going to attack (Obama), attack him for what he believes, not for what someone else does."
You never know, there's a definite possibility of a backlash, bringing out African Americans in large numbers to vote for Obama in protest against the MSM.

Let's hope this carries over to next Tuesday and election day. Good news so far!!

Interesting.
I wonder if this was ever seen as an unintended consequence?
