morning novo -- here is some data that I like -- Susie (and many others) said that the country is becoming more divided because of Bush

-- so

If in 2000 92% of Blacks voted for Gore/8% for Bush and
this year apparently the split is Kerry 84%/Bush 16% -- does this mean the Blacks are getting more divided or less divided ???
