To be honest, if we are looking to bring new voters in, we should do it in the Veep slot, no matter who we nominate. We should also focus on demographics that can be swayed to vote differently to some degree (Latinos, Women, et al).
We’re not getting more of the black vote, and it’s certainly not going to happen with Obama on the ballot.

Conservatives will never get that vote. Blacks are looking for a FDR/JFK/LBJ expand Federal government type.
But they could repress that vote by going negative on Obama in their areas. Cain is a good person to do that.

The VP slot generally does a very poor job of pulling in new voters. (Palin may be the exception that proved the rule.) And that’s usually how even something as positive as a Reagan Revolution gets diluted by the follow-on of Bushian big government.

" We’re not getting more of the black vote, and it’s certainly not going to happen with Obama on the ballot. "
The Democrats are between a rock and a hard place this time around, should they keep their Goldenboy and lose ? or go with Hillary ?
Some may disagree with me, however ? I believe that if they were to go with Hillary, they would get more of the black vote that going with Obama this time around.
