It would be nice to know if that’s true. All we know now is that he doesn’t appeal to moderates and liberals as much as McCain does. We DON’T know if he would appeal to them more than Hillary or Obama.
BTW, have you seen any exit polls which indicate where the black vote is going? I bet Romney is doing well with them, but I haven’t seen that breakdown. They did show that hispanics really went for McCain.
Honestly, I would be surprised if he got much of the black vote at all. The GOP typically gets between 7%-10% of the black vote? I don’t think he will much appeal to African Americans and would be shocked if he could break the 10% mark going against Hillary or Barack.
