Grabbing the Nearest Book

James of The Mahatma X Files has decided to pay me back with this little meme.
The rules are very straightforward and go as follows:
- Grab the nearest book (that is at least 123 pages long).
- Open to p. 123.
- Go down to the 5th sentence.
- Type in the following 3 sentences.
- Tag five people.
The following three sentences comes from Earl Ofari Hutchinson’s The Ethnic Presidency: How Race Decides the Race to the White House:
With Rove long gone from the White House after his resignation in mid-2007 that further guaranteed there would be no repeat of the Bush triumphant play of the gay marriage issue with the black evangelicals.
In the flush of their Bush victory, evangelical leaders and conservative pro-family groups could take solace in the fact that for a brief moment the issues of war and peace, and jobs and the economy took a back seat to moral values for just enough black voters to help make the winning difference for a conservative GOP president.
With few exceptions, Democratic strategists shrugged off the difference the black morals vote made in crushing their hopes to topple Bush from the White House.
And now, the next set of victims.
I choose Dan of Fitness for the Occasion; gordo of appletree; Kyle of Citizen Orange; Kai of Zuky; and adriana of latinopoliticsblog.com.
