com which encourages users to submit pointed questions to bama such as "Why did he tell donors in San Francisco that the economy has driven small town voters to ‘cling’ to guns and religion?"Republican Party officials insist they’re not late to social Web tools.

"We’ve been doing a lot of work over the past year understanding how users are interacting with our tools and moving users from online to offline" says Krohn… The site was recently redesigned to highlight social Web functions. "We’ve been doing a lot of work over the past year understanding how users are interacting with our tools and moving users from online to offline" says Krohn. Despite such efforts many in the Republican Party say the RNC and McCain’s campaign in particular must do more. There is still a widespread perception that McCain and the Republicans don’t get the Web say several young party members interviewed at the Personal Democracy Forum (PDF) a conference concerning the Internet’s role in politics held in New York on June 23-24. McCain’s lack of showing on the major social networks and other sites where young voters hang out makes him look out of touch with that demographic they say particularly when compared with bama.

This is a momentous occasion because it is the first time since the Negroes have had the right to vote that they have considered backing the Democratic Party. They have always backed the Republican Party as certain supporters and their defection means the loss of hundreds of thousands of votes lost for the GP. The movement to switch sides has stemmed from President Roosevelt’s treatment of colored soldiers after the Brownsville Texas race riot and the anti-Taft colored delegations of the southern states being denied their seats at the Republican National Convention in Chicago.

The same motives that are influencing the intelligent white voters to break with the Republican Party should guide the negro in political action.

She paints a very different historical picture than most African-Americans pointing to what she says is the Democrats’ racist past. She brings up Democrats who fought to keep blacks enslaved and those who were members of the Ku Klux Klan.

"In terms of black people people say the conventional wisdom is that the Democrats have taken blacks for granted but it’s the Republican Party that takes blacks for granted" Daniels says.
