The last time I recall a black person running as a Republican was back in the 90s.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now as far as turnout, I will predict it will be about 46%.  Everyone was saying that the turnout was very, VERY light.  I don&#039;t know if that&#039;s good for McDonnell (b/c everyone is expecting Deeds to lose in a landslide).  What it suggests is that a lot of people stayed home and didn&#039;t vote.  Who didn&#039;t vote remains to be seen.  Right now, the returns are showing a 65-70% advantage to McDonnell, but the returns are coming in very red, rural counties.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If they haven&#039;t called this election by 9pm, McDonnell might be in trouble.  I expect the final result to be 56-44 in favor of McDonnell, but there&#039;s always the chance this could be a repeat of 2005.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, it does and it angers me because it goes beyond stating &#8220;blacks always vote for the Democratic candidate,&#8221; now it&#39;s stating &#8220;blacks only vote for blacks.&#8221;</p><p>And THAT kind of sentiment should worry YOU because if blacks only vote for blacks, the GOP paid you for nothing because Bob McDonnell isn&#39;t black therefore blacks wouldn&#39;t be voting for him anyway, right?
