We sure do know how it turned out. Gore won.


I have an African American friend whom I have discussed your issue about "voting for your own." She thinks there are some minorities who will vote against Obama "just to keep him down." While she doesn't subscribe to it, she believes some blacks will say "we can't advance so why should Obama?" Hopefully this mentality is not used by many in the general election.
