A new study of blacks and their voting patterns finds that nothing the Republican Party does, even nominating African-American GOP candidates, works to win them over. [More]

That's because racism is ignorance-based, and changing that has to come from an internal willingness to look at things that challenge preconceptions.

Which reminds me, "single issue" apologists: How's that "outreach" coming along?

Two from Workman

• Michigan: Anti-gun Virgil Smith charged.
• Ohio: Open carry victory

That second one strikes close to home for more than one reason: That's precisely over what that Republiweasel Mike DeSwine and the two previous AGs had washed their hands of after I notified them of incidents pointing to the need for better police training to make sure they understood the law.

Nice scoop.

Oh, wait...

Now watch others notice. Like NRA News, now that it's "safe."
