The Globe has a front page article today

entited "More Young Blacks Ready to Embrace the GOP"....(Or something like that)

Truth is, the Globe usually runs these articles about twice a year during an elections season, they've been doing it for years its their special political boilerplate. Clearly its been a slow news summer so they broke out a nice scary article about new constituency defections from the democratic party. Morrissey Blvd just loves scare stories like this, cause' truth is, the Globe is a beaten defeated newspaper...bereft of ideas, encrusted with yammering jerkwads like Joan Vennochi and Scot Lehigh they are just waiting for the end of the two party system in America.
When it happens, nobody will mourn with more gusto than the Boston Globe, the editorial tears will fall like rain in a nor'easter.
The article itself, seems built on fairly sketchy evidence (Howard University now has a undergrad GOP club fourteen whole members, c'est formidable)...but like I said its hot out and the President is dead drunk in Crawford....nothin' much comin' in on the wires.
"Adam Hunter" (The Howard U GOP Chair) is quoted with respect to all the typical praetorian talking points including most interestingly, privatizing social security.
If wonder if friend Adam or any other campus conservative outfits might be collecting anti-social security subsidies from the Rove gang in DC?
Joshua Micah Marshall has reported that there is a ton of conservative welfare in circulation for anti social security purposes it wouldn't surprise me if some of it drifted down to the undergraduate level.

On the other hand, if African Americans defected en masse to the GOP, then do y' suppose they'd finally get the right to vote in Florida and Ohio?
