So yes, I am familiar with the type. <BR/><BR/>The thing is, how many of these people are going to be voting in a Democratic primary? A lot of them, especially here in the center, identify as Republicans. Also, if that is their attitude to African Americans, would they be willing to vote for a woman either? <BR/><BR/>Aurora BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
