A very real conversation, unfortunately, ali. one i try to avoid and putting into those terms. but the reality is, that is the case. they say if they get 95% of the black vote here which makes up one-third of the electorate, they need to pull off a quarter of white voters here in the state, which is quite a high number. mike espy will tell you back when he was a member of congress by the end of his last term, he said he had 40% of white voters voting for him. >> you spoke to people in his consti...
