(CBN News) -- The 2004 elections showed Democrats losing ground among their base, even among African-Americans who traditionally vote Democrat.

In his new book, "They Think You're Stupid," author Herman Cain said Democrats have taken certain votes for granted. And he outlined what Republicans should do to remain the ‘party of choice’ among a field of new voters.

Mr. Cain is a very successful and very well-spoken black man. Will black people listen to him? One can only hope.

Mr. Cain was here in Pittsburgh a few weeks ago, and presented a very articulate case for the Fair Tax.
