Due to deadline restrictions I’m writing this the day before the election. I can’t, therefore, talk about the winners. Polls show that in many of the races candidates are within two percent of one another (which is just about the percentage that big city machines are able to gin up in fraudulent voting) so I haven’t a clue in several of the races as to who will come out on top. I do note, however, that once again certain Democrats are seeking to make this a race race. In North Carolina Majority Leader Harry Reid’s super PAC has aired ads on black radio warning blacks that Republican senate candidate Thom Tillis lead the fight to pass the stand your ground gun legislation in North Carolina that “caused the shooting death of Trayvon Martin” (in Florida). Never mind that as State Assembly Speaker he had given little support to the measure. Never mind that it wasn’t such legislation that caused the shooting death in the first place. In a follow-up during one of Democrat Senator Hagan’s campaign rallies, Democrat state legislator Alma Adams referred to Republican candidate Tillis as “Uncle Thom” and urged listeners to send him home. A leaflet distributed in a black church in Fayetteville shows a lynching and warns that if Tillis wins Obama will be impeached. Similar messages are also circulating in Georgia and Arkansas.
