I guess Green doesn't care if blacks stay home this November and McCaskill loses again.

Though it would seem as easy as, have a black minority leader and get black votes, Maida has shown no ability to get out the black voters. She lacks a certain something as a leader. Though I don't know that Green is any better a leader I know that he can't do much worse.

Senator Maida Coleman is a great leader in the Senate for African-Americans and represents her diverse 5th district well. However, she is not a yes woman, and that is not appealing to everyone. This situation is a punishment from the Missouri Democratic Party in response to Senator Coleman deciding to run for Auditor against Susan Montee.
The Missouri Democratic Party had decided on Susan Montee and never considered Sen. Coleman for the position. In fact, the Missouri Democratic Party feels comfortable having no African-Americans statewide, and have no problem with this occurring year after year after year!!!!
If the Republicans ever run a statewide candidate for office such as a Sherman Parker, he will probably win and that will be an embarrassment to the Missouri Democratic Party.
Yes, Tim Green doesn't care if blacks don't vote for Claire Mc Caskill, because the white democrats are still mad at Claire for running for Governor. The rural areas are not going to vote for Claire because they feel that she is a loser and she looks to hardfaced when she takes pictures. Sarah Steelman looks the way white rural voters want a woman too look, and Claire better feminine up herself to look softer or she has no chance at all!
If Sen. Maida loses her position, then we will know as black people that the Missouri Democrats don't want blacks to have anything anywhere, that's O.K. with us as long as the Missouri Democratic Party doesn't think they can send Claire Mc Caskill our way. An eye for an eye!!!!!!!!!!!
