You know you’re in deep doodoo if you need Al Sharpton to come to your aid...
Better yet, : You know you’re in deep doodoo if you need Al Sharpton to backup your idea of what REAL Black people should act like.., by using him as a role model
You may be right, but I have the gravest doubts. Black Republican candidates tend to fare as badly with blacks as do white Republicans. Judging by Twitter, where black Americans are very active, exceedingly few voice anything but hostility to Cain, other than the few dedicated black Republicans. Methinks Cain is whistling past the graveyard when he speaks of hoping to win a third of the black vote in a general election against Obama. I’d be surprised if he broke 10%.
I don't think getting a big % of blacks to vote Republican (conservative ) will ever be realistic. But if Cain could effectively repeat to them how Obama has failed them and that they are victims of Obama, they very likely will stay home. Cain needs to be careful with the ‘Unemployed voters are lazy’ messages popular here. That can backfire later as Sharon Angle found out.
Then you got whites who leaned to Obama because he is black. Putting up a black conservative against Obama would really put a different view on MSNBC saying nightly that Republicans hate blacks, while they are trying to destroy Cain.
I dont see other scenareos that look that interesting to me than Cain-Obama. Perry could interest me if he did a public read my lips statement on path to legalization of illegals, but looks like he wont.

Every week, the same. Many blacks watch MSNBC, you say; so do uninformed liberal whites who make up the Obama ‘stoked’ class envy crowd, one I know for example[family friend] wants Obama to resign and “let someone else be president”, and I only laughed. Doesn't work that way I said—he only watches MSNBC, The View and Oprah [caught him enthralled in a Shirley McClaine interview on reincarnation] and when he reads his choice of media or watches his choice of shows, he said they do not lie as credible source or would not have their own shows or be famous in their own right. He is too lazy to seek info on is own-and has a masters degree he has never put to use. He is high on class envy and doesn't mind when I offer to pick up the check as I often do [it's family/friend from childhood with little money but good person past this annoying “born under a lucky star” ideology].
However, with his Congress throwing Obama under the bus, saying he will not meet with them or unknown sources says Obama escapes into a room at night alone—with no one knowing what he is doing—they are pretty much trying to suggest he may not be fit to carry on another term? And seek a replacement, declare Obama insane--that's stretching it into their own failures. Giving us news leaks that Obama is only close to a couple of trusted people-Jarrett and Axelrod who seem to watch his back and advise. Would love to see those phone records from each night,when he is alone in his 'secret place'.
We put too much emphasis on MSNBC and the other networks give them credibility by bringing their talking heads up in the ongoing Right vs. Left media scenario. It makes you watch, and the “blacks” you say who watch MSNBC. Who wins—the media outlets live, lust for this notoriety and ratings and THE MONEY. Protesters are going to march on the homes of the millionaires [SEIU thuggery, intimidation] Koch Brothers and the head of NewsCorp [UK inspired] etc. Why not the heads of GE or MSNBC?
I have to laugh at Mumbles-Mayor of Boston who has sympathized with the protesters and the taxpayers are paying for all the damage/clean up from these “fleabaggers”.
No cost of permits-they can stay as long as they want—now they are being arrested. Bostonians should be so proud of the Mumbles Memino, and they get what they deserve-Romney is a part of that culture and his creation of RomneyCare should not be allowed to “be forgotten”. Rachel Maddow pulls from within the gay community "out" or "closeted"; but does not represent the whole gay community who are quick to use "slurs" against other gays,that we could not.
If we are talking "color", does MSNBC have any famous Black Pundits, journolists of which these viewers can identify? Bloggers don't count.
The "rich" people the protesters hate are also supported by in media coverage, and finances for sleeping bags, food, and places to shower are being used as "useful idiots". Or joining to save themselves as many of the French government did for the Nazi in rounding up the Jews in Paris..Oh! a light bulb just came on.
There is this one black lady at the gym who used to watch Ed Schultz everyday when he was at the 6pm time slot. I would listen in while Ed would rant to her (viewers) that the Tea Party is racist and hates blacks. Now they have Al Sharton at that time, he was hired because they wanted someone to defend Obama , even from the left. They tried liberal Cyenk for two months but he was complaining about Obama selling out too much.
I once talked to this woman and she said that she hates FNC (which is usually on at the same gym too) and she was glad they got rid of Glenn Beck who was on just before that timeslot.
FNC which I call the Republican channel has the good stuff to work with now, They have Fast and Furious and Solyndra. MSNBC just has Obama's 'jobs' speeches and the Wall Street protests,
Now Becks hosts shows from his own network... Strange she would hate Beck when he was joined by Martin Luther King's niece and other black leaders in the Christian community at his rally in DC..those that marched with King. Loved Cain's comment in response to "that old crooner" what's his name" that he, being Cain, had "left the plantation" controlled by Democrats. To bad these people are so brain washed but they still make up a minority of viewers; however you are correct in that they spread the word as such to the dumb and dumber and/or haters around them. Obama has raised racism, antisemitism, class envy to a new level, do they give a Nobel Prize for that??
