Monday, October 18, 2004 - 08:41 AM
Housing, jobs, the war in Iraq. Minority voters care about the same issues as everyone else--and then some. While Bush is appealing en Español to Latino voters, Senator Kerry is counting on black voters to give him the winning margin.
Today three eminent thinkers on matters of concern to minority voters share their thoughts.
E.R. Shipp doesn't like the way the GOP is trying to appeal to blacks in churches.
Ruben Navarrette, Jr. says Bush and Kerry both are failing to make an effective appeal to Spanish-speaking voters.
Debra Dickerson believes that in this election, you can't separate black people's issues from the issues that concern Americans as a whole.
