			<title>Nelson Rockefeller:  Say Good Bye to a Proven Friend</title>

			<description><![CDATA[My notes are incomplete on the matter. So I will have to resort later to a resource not always reliable, Wiki. But if my understanding of history serves me rightly, the Republican Party abandoned its traditional ties with the African American with the defeat of Nelson Rockefeller in presidential elections. The Republican Party then was on board with a host of interests relevant to black America. Alas his loss and the emergence of Arizona's Barry Goldwater, with his courtship of the "conservatives" in the Grand Old Party, signaled a rightward turn in American political tradition still felt today. And it's presumbably the "Southern Strategy" wing that Gen. Powell has alluded to. My thought on the matter is that if the Demoractic Party is fulfilling a democratic mandate that seeks to elevate all Americans into the mainstream of the American body politic, then there's no reason to concern oneself about the GOP at all. MALDEF and NAACP together equal power!]]></description>
