O knihe

Specifically, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of three statewide black
Republican candidacies in 2006 in Maryland, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. During the 2006 midterm
election cycle, the Republican Party recruited and gave strong support to three high-profile
African-American statewide candidates. Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell and former
Pittsburgh Steeler star and television sports broadcaster Lynn Swann campaigned for their state's
governorship in Ohio and Pennsylvania, respectively. Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele vied
for a vacated United States Senate seat in Maryland. After five decades of miserable levels of
support from black voters and numerous initiatives to increase its share of the African-American
electorate, the GOP estimated that credible black Republican candidacies would substantially
improve its image among African-American voters and, thus, garner a larger share of the black
vote.
