Will the MSM make this "The Year of the Black Conservative" like they did to the bogus "Year of the Woman" in 1993? I seriously doubt it.

Should be 1992

If he is all that that article states, I hope that he is available to run the President in a few years.

It would mark the "Return of the visible black Republican".

At first when I read the headline, I thought that politically there was some group trying to change the politics of the GOP (which came back in the Reagan years). And then when I saw the subject I immediately thought back to the early 1980s and the black Republicans who lived down the block.

The black community has been conservative on moral issues. With the efforts by the left to draw parallels between the Homosexual Agenda and the black civil rights movement, the black community has put up resistance to that comparison.

But to answer your question, no it won't be a hot topic for the MSM. Expect more racist cartoons, more insults of Oreo Cookie, Uncle Tom, race traitor, etc. This is off the script from the DNC talking points, The media can't having a thinking voting public.

If conservative only stood for white people I wouldn't be dealing with conservativism at all. Conservatism is a combination and desire to see a government that small and respects family values. We're not a collective in a racial sense, we're a MORAL collective. Therefore nothing can make a black man a traitor or a sell-out by being a conservative. Those people whom assert they're sell-outs are doing an incredible disservice to rational debate and harmony. Mere rhetoric in my eyes.

Both he and Mike Steele are all that. I saw Mike Steele speak the night that Bush was renominated for Pres. and he blew me out of my seat. Ken Blackwell has been on several talk show and is one of the smartest men I have ever heard, the writer is correct when he or she (I didn't pay attention to that, sorry.) said that he is very Reagan like. I think that both of them are.

The truth about the Black vote in 2004 is that in many important states the number was above the 11% average. In fact in 14 important states, California Florida Pa. Texas NC, Nev, Va WV and Wisc. among them, the average was 14%.
If we start seeing just 14% nation wide the rat is cooked.
That three percent is just around the corner. The rat has used every lie, every trick he has to scare Blacks about voting GOP. They are failing. The Black voter is listening to the GOP.
