Democrat hope?

Is there hope for the party after all? According to a recent survey, around eighty percent of African American Democrats said that they were just as interested in the midterms, if not more so, as they were about the 2008 presidential election. According to David Bositis, a senior political analyst, said that if the African American vote comes out in the same high numbers, there would not be as much damage done as is currently being forecasted by the pundits. There are twenty districts where they make a significant portion of the voters. He went on to say that even though the Republicans are fielding African American candidates, it wouldn't work because they vote along party, not racial, lines. My thought: the twenty districts that are labeled competitive, where a majority are African Americans? They are not as competitive. That narrows it down to, sixty, eighty seats, somewhere in there. I think Democrats will still lose the house, by twenty seats or less.
