...decades, African-American voters have rallied behind one clear Democratic contender in the primary season: Jackson, then Clinton and then Al Gore. This time, though, the vote looks as if it may be scattered across the pack. "There is no messiah among them," says the Rev. Joseph Darby, pastor of the Morris Brown A.M.E.

Exit polls from 2000 indicate that, had Nader not been in the race, his supporters would have voted disproportionately for the Democratic ticket, and a win in either state would have ensured Gore the presidency...
