I know all about him...was eating his pizzas nearly 30 years ago.

Sure he’s great.

But if he weren’t black he’d get no more notice than anyone else.

being conservative and black attracts such hyperbole as “biggest threat to Obama”.

I’m sick of so many whites always following the race ticket...it’s what got Obama elected and it won’t garner diddly in black votes who would not have voted for a conservative already.

“and it won’t garner diddly in black votes who would not have voted for a conservative already.”

i disagree, and here’s why. we know by now that there are large numbers of black conservatives, though lots (like in hollywood) just don’t talk about it openly. also, i believe some (maybe many) were torn - obama campaigned as a “moderate” and let’s face it - mccain is not a conservative, so given the choice between him (an old lackluster white-guy RINO) and a young, dashing, “hopeful” black guy, plus the (seemingly) win-win chance to feel cultural pride while helping to make history, well......

i think herman cain would eliminate any ambiguity in the larger-than-you-think group of black conservatives. heck, even tons who aren’t conservative now have buyer’s remorse. and for those stupid voters (of which there were far too many) who voted for obama solely for his skin color - well, there would be no dilemma there, with HC.

You are right, but Conservatives like Herman Cain, Allen West and Sara Palin are not the white, country club flaccid males that the msm has defined the conservative movement to be. It is important to do everything we can to promote conservatives, especially minority conservatives as they will be taken to task far more so than a white male conservative.

Personally, I would vote for a black albino female bull dyke who looked like Helen Thomas if she were a strong conservative that was a constitionalist who believed in the original intent of the founding fathers.
