So a real, 100% black man, descended from slaves, a Christian and successful businessman can’t beat a proto-Muslim, half African disgrace to his office? Pull the other one, it’s got bells on it!

He can’t win them all over but he can win some over and that is more than any other republican in the race can do.

Cain’s claim is unusual because he has made no special effort to appeal directly to black voters.

Typical leftist media and Democrat thinking...minorities must be pandered to in order to gain their votes.

Cain is smarter than that. He's banking on the blacks who will see him for what he is, not empty promises.

GWB got 11% of the black vote in 2004; there's no reason to think Cain couldn't get 15-20%. I'll guarantee this: None of the other Republicans would get more than 7% (and that may be optimistic.)

I don’t know why Cain would waste time and money reaching out to Black voters in the runup to the Republican primaries. How many Blacks are registered as Republican?

The author is an idiot.

No one in their right mind would waste time courting the Black vote for a Republican primary.

Cain is a businessman, and he won’t waste time where it won’t be productive. What is one of his mantras? “Start by working on the right problem.”

But if he gets the Republican nomination, then he’ll pull out all the stops and start courting the Black vote. Not before.

2012, wouldn’t be the real value. The transformative value would be in having a Clarence Thomas constitutional conservative in the White House, with the loudest microphone in the world, and using it to lay waste to the Big Lie perpetuated by the left/media/race industry.

There can be no greater contribution to the conservative movement than that.

If Cain really believes he can draw more black voters to the GOP because he is black, then he’s just practicing another form of racism. That’s a shame.

Make that “dismissed by the straw hat bosses on the dimoKKKRAT plantation”. Those are the ones making the analysis for the msm. Purely BS.

Not worth the effort. Most blacks, not all, are utterly brainwahsed if not utterly braindead. Just listen to Sean Hannity’s radio show for 5 minutes if you can...

Basically it all boils down to this:

Cain’s Assertion That He Could Win Over Black Voters Is Dismissed By Analysts

That's the real headline.

Wow what an elitist pile this article is.

"Analysts, political insiders, and scholars say"

Well thank you experts for speaking for every black person in America. Guess that settles it.

They are terrified of Cain. Precisely because he would wake up some lifetime black Democrat voters and lure them out of the closet.
