Americans Vote for Bush Despite African-American Rejection

Washington, DC (Nov 10, 2004) - In a stunning blow to President Bush's prospects for having any mandate in his second term, African-Americans rejected Mr. Bush in yesterday's election. The results show Mr. Kerry received 88% of the African-American vote while Mr. Bush received only 11%. When Mr. Kerry was asked about this he said, "I don't know how Mr. Bush can be effective. When the Democrats held the White House, we had nearly 90% of the African-American vote and all was well. I fear that this rejection could lead to unrest and even civil war just like what could happen if the Sunnis reject the proposed constitution when the Iraqis vote on it next year."
