Al Sharpton learns about unintended consequences
I have twice derided Al Sharpton's overhyped endorsement of Freddy Ferrer in the New York mayor's election. (once, twice) Sharpton likes to think that he actually matters in politics, and today a new poll confirms that Sharpton might be having an effect. Fully 7% of voters now are "more likely" to vote for Freddy, while over four times as many (29%) are "less likely" to vote for Sharpton's guy. Another 61% don't care. The net result of Al's endorsement? 93% of voters either don't care or are likely to do the opposite of what Al wants. Keep it up, Al!
