So Black voters, particularly Black women came through in VA...Dems remember that when the MSM starts advising you to "distance" from PBO.

Democratic party should be grateful for Black voters. If it were up to whites, they'd be screwed (h/t @Smartypants60) http://t.co/1WqupVMoou

FYI, it wasn't white women who defeated Cuccinelli in Virginia. It was black men and women. #VAGov nytimes.com/projects/elect…

Texans, if you want Wendy Davis to win, you need to concentrate on connecting with women of color. It's your only path to victory.
