Rice will split the black vote up and swing the womans vote around. Win. Done. Except for a lot of men that won't vote for a woman regardless. Lose some votes to gain many votes.
That is ridiculous. Obama will easily get 90% of the black vote. Rice will be called a sellout Oreo cookie.
This is the same stupid RINO reasoning that makes the GOP the stupid party. To begin with, Black Reps are no longer black. Michael Steele, Lynn Swann, and Ken Blackwell found that out. And blacks will vote 95% for Obama in 2012 just like they did in 2008. Why would then shift their vote to vote for a black VP versus a black President who is more aligned with the ideology and interests?
How many female votes did Palin bring to the GOP ticket? Women voted for Obama 56% to 43% in 2008. In 2004 women voted 51% to 49% for Kerry.
