And let's not forget.  Diversity includes everyone.  Men, women, blacks AND whites and everyone.  You went to a McCain rally for what reason, exactly?  There were more than just "old white people" there.  Your anecdotes doesn't hold water.

None of America has been "forsaken" by Republicans.  It's a misnomer.  Look at the cities you claim Republicans have avoided, like Detroit, which have been ran by Democrats for longer than most of its residents have been alive.  Republicans didn't cause the school board to fail or the city to go in debt or the population to decrease by half.  And when experience and help is offered it's turned down.

The people voted for Kilpatrick over Hendrix.  Keith Butler was hounded off the City Council.  

We'll go where we're wanted, where we're invited, and where we have ideas and solutions.  And when Republicans are politely or impolitely told to leave, we'll move on to the next idea and solution.
