A mayoral candidate in Durham, N.C., is wooing young voters on the strength of her "hip-hop agenda." Jackie Wagstaff, 46, a member of Durham's school board, has taken to calling herself "J-Dub" and wearing orange Chuck Taylor sneakers to campaign rallies. If elected, Wagstaff promises to consult regularly with a "hip-Hop cabinet" of gang members and troubled teenagers. "Until we start to listen to them, " Wagstaff said, "all we're going to be doing is beating a dead horse."
