George,

Since it evidently took 6 years for George Allen to "need" -- or make the effort to woo -- the votes of the Black Farmers Association, they could certainly be forgiven tor putting off their support for him until 2012 .....particularly since so many other Allen votes have been (and would likely be) more insult than help to their interests...and the interests of men, women, children, students...and, in fact, all Virginians !
