Should McCain Write Off African-American Voters?
Of course not. But he also should not go out of his way to “court” the black vote. It will do him no good, and will only make him look like a schmuck.
What McCain SHOULD do, however, is go WAY out of his way to court conservatives, who remain rather cool to him (and for good reason). If blacks do not turn out for him, he can still easily get by. But if the GOP base stays home, he’s cooked.
