NAACP's threat to Democratic Senators

The head of the NAACP Mr Mfume has indicated that any democrats voting for former Senator Ashcroft as Attorney General would be dealt with in the next election. Exactly who will the NAACP support in a democratic senator's re-election, his Republican opponent? I doubt it. Another Democrat running against an incumbent Democrat Senator? I doubt they'll find one willing to run and be ostracized by the Democratic Party.

This empty threat is fooling no one, including myself. They obviously have problems with Ashcroft being the next Attorney General, but their tactics are rather fultile.

In another six months, no one will remember which Democrat voted for Ashcroft and this tactic will leave Mr Mfume looking foolish and probably also the NAACP.
