The very suggestion is ludicrous and discounts the intelligence of his constituents. These handouts and Bush's warmed-over enterprise zone schemes will not solve problems in the state's chronically poor black communities. Change will come when black Democrats themselves devise and implement viable policies and when residents in these areas decide for themselves that they want better lives. I believe it is political expediency. And the day after the election, I believe they will realize that they have made a bad bet.
Loyalty still has great premium.
Ultimately, Bush, who may make a great governor, and the GOP will not need this band of disloyal black Democrats. Bush most certainly will have no reason to trust them. If the Democratic Party is wrong for Bradley and Hargrett, they should visit their supervisor of elections and switch parties. St. Petersburg Times. All rights reserved.
