From Huffington Post:
Despite paeans to diversity, the Republican Party clearly does not want a black man — or any minority candidate — in the Senate, leading conservative blogger Erick Erickson wrote Wednesday.
“It is starting to get really disgusting,” Erickson, the editor-in-chief of the right-wing site RedState wrote. “First, the GOP said it needed diversity and chose the orange Charlie Crist over the Latino, Marco Rubio. Then the GOP said it needed to do better outreach in the black community, so it ignored Michael Williams in Texas and tried to find a rich white guy to run for the Senate. Now that Kay Bailey Hutchison has lost the Texas primary to Rick Perry without even making it into a runoff, the Washington, D.C. Republicans are scared to death a black man might actually get appointed to the Senate as a Republican.”
