Black caucus backs Democrats -- except one

Charlotte-Mecklenburg's Black Political Caucus has endorsed a long list of Democratic candidates from president to county register of deeds. Every Democrat, that is, but one: U.S. Rep. Larry Kissell.

Kissell has angered some African Americans this year for several reasons. He not only voted against President Obama's health care law but voted to repeal it, voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in criminal contempt and said he wouldn't endorse Obama of attend his convention in nearby Charlotte.

Kissell's own 8th District Black Caucus withdrew its support and many of its members are supporting an African American write-in. The two Democrats face Republican Richard Hudson.

A spokeswoman for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Caucus said Kissell just didn't get the votes required for an endorsement.

Does the Black caucus routinely support African-American Republicans as well or are they straight party (regardless of race) Democrat supporters? Just curious.

BTW - it is 'nearBy Charlotte' not 'nearLy Charlotte'.

The famous BPC that was previously controlled by Nick Mackey types actually endorsed right wing Republican millionaire David Strickland ( think Bill Belk Lite) for Judge instead of the highly rated Democrat.
