Hero to many blacks? The latest polls show him at less than ten percent of the black vote in Illinois.
Maybe a hero to black conservatives, but the rat demographic just sees him as being a lawn jockey of the republican party.
That is only the starting point.
But he is doing press like a whirlwind.
Watch those numbers rise.
Be patient, it won't necessarily all happen overnight (though more than could have been hoped has), but over the course of months, after they've had a chance to actually listen to him, they WILL be affected.
No way to know if it will be enough, but all Alan has to do is peel off 1 in 20 of them that Republicans wouldn't have normally gotten, and he will win.
