In deep-blue Maryland, its the white Republican running for governor who has a direct message for black voters. GOP nominee Larry Hogan has canvassed along inner-city streets and spoken to students at a historically black college in Bowie. He says his party has too often overlooked African-American voters — and argues his job-creating economic policies are just whats needed to address the communitys high jobless rate. Unemployment has doubled under this administration and weve lost 100,000 jobs, Hogan told a mostly black audience at Bowie State last month. But if youre young, or youre black, its even worse. And if youre a young, black male, the unemployment rate is twice as high. There are serious issues out there.
