Blacks voters opposed Bush by a 10:1 margin, the worst ever for a Republican candidate. Bush and his brother Jeb stole Florida's electors only by preventing tens of thousands of blacks from voting. He rejected the Congressional Black Caucus request to nominate Ronnie White for federal judge as a peace offering, and he won't back down on school vouchers to undermine public schools. It looks like he's written off the black vote until 2012, when today's gradeschoolers cast their first vote.
