I agree. Herman Cain would pull a small but hopefully significant percentage of votes from Obama. But it is naive to believe that he would be able to get more than that. It is not just that Obama is black. It is his party affiliation. I seriously can not think of anything that Obama could do or say that would significantly reduce Obama’s support among black voters. Nothing he has done or said thus far has made more than a tiny dent.

I can think of one: If Larry Sinclair's allegations were proven true beyond a shadow of a doubt. Blacks would abandon Obama in droves, at the very least by sitting out the election.
