Odds on favorite for SC's Governor and 1st Congressional District are Republicans--one of South Asian origin; the other Black. A triumph of what I call The New Tolerant Intolerance”," Michael Steele's effort to wean the GOP off race hatred and direct its hatred elsewhere and thereby reach social conservatives across racial lines where they exist aplenty. Now this strategy appears on the way to victory in a State where some if its uglier antecedents were first brought to fruition by the likes of Lee Atwater.
One potential Achilles heal elsewhere: the most fertile area of potential growth for this strategy is among Latino immigrants, but asking adherents of the New Tolerant Intolerance on all sides of the racial divide to give up immigrant bashing may be asking them for more tolerance than they are ready to muster.

In the aftermath of Charles Barron's announcement of his run for governor and the formation of the Freedom Party, MSM has predictably missed the issue. The issue is what do Black voters, who have reliably voted Democrat for the last 50 years, expect to receive in exchange for their loyalty? During this year's elections, are Blacks expected to fall in line, and vote Democratic, because they have no choice? Should they have no expectation of parity, equitable distribution of resources, fair contracting opportunities, and policies that respect, not abuse, those voters?
