Key Dem Endorsement for Michael Steele

The race for the Senate seat in Maryland may have just been decided with Michael Steele receiving a key endorsement from a prominent black Democrat in Prince Georges County (from SteeleForMaryland):

LARGO, MD – Today, Michael Steele received the endorsement of former Prince George’s County Executive and Democrat Wayne Curry, five Democratic Prince George’s County Council members and several other Democratic community and business leaders at Infusions Tea Café in Largo.

Wayne Curry today said [remarks as delived], “This is obviously a historic occasion and I am very happy to be a part of it. I grew up in Prince George’s County. Michael Steele was born here…I am a lifelong Democrat and I am mindful that our emergence as a community has always come along with struggle and strife…this community has been seriously trivialized. We have been neglected, overlooked and disparaged in the sanctums of the Democratic Party…Prince George’s County has been geographically redlined and stratified. It is the place where there is more Democratic voting than any other place in Maryland…”

“The [Democratic] party acts as though when they want our opinion they will give it to us. It’s not going to be like that no more.

“This occasion is special for those who have sacrificed here. We don’t need any TV celebrities to tell us about politics in Prince Georges County…this isn’t the first time we have charged up a hill.

“The person to elect, who is most responsive to the things that will make our future brighter is Michael Steele…He is a good man with a good plan.”

Black voters have long been taken for granted by the Dems, but for some reason they kept on voting in huge numbers for them despite the frequent snubs. Black voters are finally starting to figure out that the Dems are interested in the black community for their votes, and when it comes time to put blacks in positions of significant power, the Dems always seem to find reasons to skip over them.

There was already concern among Dems that black voters might stay home this election because of all the myths of voter intimidation and ballot shenanigans that the Dems have been spreading since 2000. I had a previous post on that subject here.

In Maryland, and perhaps in many other places, the black voters may not stay home after all. They may turn out and vote for Republicans for a change. Boy, wouldn't that mess up the Dem victory parades on Nov. 8th.
