Based on major cities in ruin, complete with rampant fraud and financial ruin which are led by black mayors; based on the sole purpose of the "black caucus" to care about only black issues, and based on the performance of barack obama, I think we will be highly reluctant to vote for another black person for President, no matter how good he "sounds".

We're dealing with one now who "sounded" good, and look what has resulted...and might still result before it's over.

I think West and Cain are fine speakers and make excellent points, but obama and his ACORN ilk has ruined it for them for generations to come.

Barack Obama will go down as America's biggest enemy and biggest traitor in history.

This is true only for those who judge simply by the color of a person's skin and who lump all blacks together in some way.

The problem is that we don't know what percentage of the electorate this represents. I believe it is smaller than the media wants us to believe or zer0 wouldn't be in the White House.

Cain is obviously much older and he really doesn’t have much time to make his mark presidentially but maybe the Senate from Georgia is a possibility. The state can use a GENUINE CONSERVATIVE in the Senate.

West is a different matter. He is off to a terrific start in the House and has Florida conservatives very excited (especially when compared to Marco Rubio who is acting like he’s afraid of the Tea Party and avoided CPAC). I would love to see West challenge for the GOP senatorial nomination in 2012 so he can take on lackluster liberal Bill Nelson. The contrast would be stark.

“I think we will be highly reluctant to vote for another black person for President, no matter how good he “sounds”.”

Now that we’ve cleared the hurdle presented by the white-guilt driven media, I don’t see another black president being elected any time soon. Latino, maybe (and growing more likely with each election); female, possibly; but the Kenyan Pirate has put up obstacles that will be difficult for any black candidate to overcome (fairly or not). What some blacks saw as a triumphant moment was the last gasp of a shrinking population being displaced by Latinos; their lot has not improved a bit, and too many still live in segregated neighborhoods removed from the daily life of mainstream America.

True, but if the Republicans keep screwing around with the same old same old "do as I say, not as I do" mentality like they are now BHO will be re-elected by a wide margin. His negatives are half what they were just two months ago and steadily falling. It's stunning, I know, but one thing I've learned over the last 30 years as a political observer is never misunderestimate the apathy of the American voter. Whether or not voters will remain fired up for the next election remains to be seen. Given the exceedingly short attention span of most voters at this stage of the game I seriously doubt the Republicans are going to field a strong enough candidate. My biggest fear is Mitt or the Huckster will get the nomination. If that happens it'll be BHO round II......

I don't agree. No one who voted for Obama because he's black will refuse to vote for Cain because he's black. And no one who voted against Obama because he's a socialist Muslim will refuse to vote for Cain because he's black. That leaves the people who voted against Obama because he's black...Who cares about them? They didn't matter in the last election, and they won't matter in the next.

The biggest problem for any black conservative is getting the media to even acknowledge their existence. When Alan Keyes ran in 2000, the media completely ignored him. They would do the same with Cain or West.
