But here's why it won't likely be a commercial:<BR/><BR/>The black church community and the Democratic Party, especially in the state's urban centers, have a long delicate tight-rope-walking history. It teeters and totters between solid community activism and cash payouts, jobs for friends and government money for special "programs." <BR/><BR/>I know two black clergy in Indy, who lean Democratic, who are already screaming bloody murder that a fellow clergyman is being crucified.<BR/><BR/>At the end of the day, the color of freedom and oppportunity, is green. Make no mistake about it. In the black clergy community, that cuts 90% Democratic. But not entirely. And green rules regardless of party.<BR/><BR/>This is actually smart Daniels politics. He won't win much of the vote in that community, but he'll muffle some criticism that might otherwise come his way.<BR/><BR/>(Wilson Shield Activated)<BR/><BR/>As a matter of fact, strange as it may seem, if Dems win next year, look for multiple applicants for this job.<BR/><BR/>Such is the state of some urban Dem political dilemnas. <BR/><BR/>My God hang his head and sighs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
