You really need to read my post more carefully next time. But since you are a nice person, I will repeat what I said...
95% of black vote went to Obama in 2008.
Cain will get more of that 95% than any other GOP candidates.
There is a good thread from Morehouse college today on FR which confirms this. Cain could get between 20 & 30% of the black vote leaving Obama 70 to 80%. That will defeat Obama.
Newt is going to take the Perry plunge down in the polls.
Anyways, a few weeks ago we had a similar conversation and he told me he would not vote for Obama again. We discussed Herman Cain and he said he would definitely be voting for him over Obama.
Now, honestly, this guy is a flipping genius and yeah, he is black even though I hadn't really thought about it before. I always thought of him as "professor" (he's actually a doctor but I like professor better) or by his nickname which is short for the Spanish version of his name, even though he's from NYC. We've had a lot of fun, from Florida to Vegas and I've even had to cart him to the hospital and take care of him and paperwork and stuff.
He's a dear friend, and but he earned my deep respect for his sheer brilliance and brutal honesty. Yet even he voted for Obama in 2008, with all that sheer brilliance and talent, he voted for the socialist bastard because he was black.
Best I could do was say "Ah jeez, don't do that again..." He said if Cain was our guy he'd support him, but he's already promised he wouldn't vote for Obama again.
Anyways, we have one convert - LOL!
