Yeah...except Herman Cain is UNELECTABLE! Although he has good ideas and appeal I believe he will suffer from a racial backlash, thanks to Obama the Unifier.
Additionally, you know that Blacks will never vote for him...because Blacks like him are perceived as “Uncle Toms” or “Oreos” in the words of a recently interviewed African-American official.
So he would be going in losing.
Blacks would never vote for him? I dunno...
“The African-American vote, I am confident, based upon black people that run into, black people that used to call my radio show, black people that have signed up on my website to support me. I believe, quite frankly, that my campaign, I will garner a minimum of a third of the black vote in this country and possibly more,” Cain said.

I don’t know, 0bama has so screwed up, maybe enough blacks will give Cain a shot. Cain is the type who could lead thinking blacks to conservatism. Psychologically it would be easier to vote for someone like Cain than a white conservative. All that needs to happen is for 10% of the black vote to go GOP and not only is Hussein done, but the Democratic /Socialist party is crippled for a generation.

A Republican is not electable because blacks, who usually only vote for democrats, might not vote for him? And blacks are going to go with what Maxine Waters says? Even Maxine Waters is ticked off by Obama. When the biggest shill in town is grumbling and complaining, there is no better opportunity.
I think he is electable, especially in our current political climate. I think even though he is running on the GOP platform, he is more tea party than republican, and that is going to appeal to independents as well.
As far as the black vote, the GOP will never get the black vote, so we're no worse right? Besides, most blacks are socially conservative and Herman is much more in line I believe with black idea's than Obama.
Instead of saying he is unelectable, why don’t we ask what do we need to do to get him elected.
I’ve been posting on my facebook about him. I need to donate to his campaign and get yard signs.
Nice try but you are wrong! Maybe you should actually talk to a few “blacks” yourself. Cain believes that he will be able to get at least a third of the “black vote”. There was a thread here yesterday from a teacher whose school where most of the students are black. The teacher said that half of the students supported Cain and half Obama, but the Cain supporters were very enthusiastic and the Obama supporters were lukewarm in their support. The teacher thought that this probably was a good reflection of their parents attitudes.
Blacks in this country have twice the unemployment rate of whites. Obama has managed to hurt them more than any other group and more than a few are beginning to notice. They still support him in most cases, but if you give them an alternative there is a good chance they will take it.
