In other words you are asking for trouble by making a free decision.

Don’t know how to break this to you folks but republicans are not getting any black votes for the next 8 years. I like Michael Steele and even like the idea of him being an African American and a good party chairman.

But worrying about losing the already lost black vote or the white liberal vote is a non issue at this time.

I respectfully disagree. Republicans have failed for years to highlight issues that would pull this voting bloc away from the Rats. An ad campaign that stated something as simple as 'Democrats : The Party Of Gay Marriage' would be enough to have these voters rethinking their allegiance. Imagine three months of commercials that repeat this slogan. In short order you connect the two ideas. Much like Google bombers did with Bush and Failure when someone did a search on either term.

Elected republicans, unfortunately, have neither spine nor testicles. They think this is a debate while the left acts as if it is a war.
