Herman Cain defies the stereotype of blacks as liberal. And his embrace of conservatism and rugged individualism might make him the Republicans' best salesman – and counter to Obama.
Black candidates must be especially image savvy to navigate the delicate contours of today’s racial politics. They must cultivate racial appeal, without provoking racial resentment, and expend their racial capital, without succumbing to the litany of stereotypes whites associate with them.
We thought Barack Obama mastered this art, believing future black candidates must learn at his feet. But Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain might prove more teacher than apprentice.
My co-author, Stephen Caliendo, and I analyzed over a thousand ads researching our recent book about racial appeals in US elections.
We always returned to Mr. Cain’s 2004 Senate ads. Two aspects of those ads demonstrate why Cain might be the Republican’s best salesman and contrast to his fellow black rival.

Telling will his ability to raise ‘free speech’ for staff and television.
So who’s your man? Romney?
Bachmann.. because of the testicles thing..
Which is the way those that really like Herman, but are still sitting on the fence, need to focus. We need the entry with the best odds, not the prettiest horse or the one with the most racing experience.
The "reason" that he comes up with is hillarious.
I’m sorry, Herman Cain seems like a nice enough guy but I think his candidacy is mainly driven by a cynical political calculation that he gives the Republicans an advantage by defusing the race issue with the Democrats.
I don’t support this kind of game playing, and I don’t think its a road we really want to be going down. They will just say he is not a “real” black person.
Besides, my heart belongs to Sarah, and if not Sarah then Michelle.
Pinging the Cain Train!
In other HC news today:
From Herman Cain’s facebook page:
Today is “Ask Obama” day on Twitter, where you can ask the President a question by using the hash-tag #AskObama. I submitted a question of my own:
As a mathematician, I’ve got to ask: exactly how did you come up with the jobs “created or saved” number, again?
Herman Cain still leading on ‘Positive Intensity Score’ (and why it matters)

Bachman/Cain or Cain/Bachman or Palin/Cain...or Perry/Cain or Cain/Perry...All options are on the table to make the dream team
oh no you dinint... that was F-U funny.
i wish i said that.
YES WE CAIN!
cain/west
forget the rest.
Sadly, the majority of naysayers have never read his background, listened to his speeches, listened to his radio show, read his books or even know where he stands on issues.
Winner!

Nope, nominate Palin or forget it, you lost.
Besides, my heart belongs to Sarah, and if not Sarah then Michelle.
Interestingly, you have noticed that Herman is likeable and black. Those that are on fire for him have listened to what he has to say.
You don't like game-playing, yet you still don't know if your candidate is running, and you're thrilled when she plays cat and mouse with the media....a move that entertains and frustrates, but is it productive?
Your heart belongs to Sarah? Our country cannot afford primary results based on the affections of a candidate's supporters.
I see. So no affirmative action there. ;)
I’ll go out on a limb and say that IF he does get the nomination, he performs better vs. Obama than any other contenderAs long as the GOP nominee does not blow bubbles with his/her drool, he/she will win and it won't be close.

How about the 20-25% white leftists who OBSESS about race?
You think they don’t care about it? It is practically ALL they care about!
“How about the 20-25% white leftists who OBSESS about race?

BUT the Prisons are filled with, the Haters that happen to be of color,who can’t follow the Law and for the most part are useless.
“Almost no blacks would vote for Cain, as they are pre-committed to all Democrat nominees for all offices at all times.”
I disagree. There was another article on FR today about how blacks are now the most religious group in America. Cain is a preacher, I believe, & would draw a lot of that vote. And another story I heard the other day: a man (white) was standing at a copier at his office. A television set was on with Obama going on about something. A black woman who worked in the office happened to come by at that moment & said, “I am getting so tired of that man’s voice!” The fellow was so shocked he couldn’t think of anything to say.
Sounds like even blacks are not happy with O.
I believe that I said I don’t like this KIND of game playing.
I have listened to what Herman has to say and think he is a smart guy without any political experience.
If Palin will not run I would support Bachman. And affection is every bit as valid as being “on fire” for someone. Little difference really.
