Whole lot of excuses, including the race of the president.

The D's truly would be better served looking inwards. There were many reasons for their losses in the mid-terms. The crap that's coming out of their mouths though tells me they are not looking in the right direction.

Listen to Ms Fudge. "We did our part, so don't blame us".

Do we really still need a congressional black caucus now? It appears to be a racist echo chamber that does more harm than good.

That's true. Racist white southerners voted for Tim Scott rather than the Democrat so they are correct.

Ms. Fudge leads a rather sad, limited life if she blames everything on race.

It's much easier to blame Democrat losses on "race" rather than the electorate being fed up with democrat policies, democrat lies, and unnpopularity of this administration's direction. After all, it was Obama who said that even though he was not on the ballot, his "policies" were definitely on the ballot. Once the votes were counted democrats had to scramble to find a scapegoat for their shellacking,.....hence,....RACE!!

And HOW did the "Racist White Southerners" have to do with the northern states that elected repubs?

They are grasping at straws!

It's a rather obvious lie, but even if the voters were racist why did Democrats do so much worse in 2014 than they did in 2012, and why did Republicans expand beyond their 2010 numbers? Obama's race, and more broadly the race of their candidates, has remained rather constant over those three elections, and it's not as if the voters just discovered Obama had black African ancestry, so logically any losses above and beyond the beginning of this Presidency must be due to something other than race.

Also, I suppose Colorado, Iowa, and Alaska must be full of racist Southerners since they lost seats there too. Ditto for South Dakota and Montana. If the racist South can expand that far so quickly they might as well surrender . It should also be noted that Landrieu, Pryor, Nunn, Grimes, and Hagan were all white and they didn't do any better than Obama did in 2012, in contrast to Scott (a black man) who polled similarly to Romney. None of this is consistent with the existence of a faction of racist Southern voters large enough to sway elections, or even margins of victory; what it is consistent with is a majority of conservatives and Republicans who will not be persuaded to vote for anyone that is not a sure and trustworthy opponent of the agenda of Obama and the Democrats generally. The conservatives and Republicans in the South will vote only for their own political kind from top to bottom unless there is extremely strong reason to do otherwise, and that's an even bigger electoral problem for the Democrats than race would be.
