Lets stop with the “lots of blacks will vote for Cain because he’s black” thing. Many don’t directly say it, but underpinning Herman’s campaign is some conservative belief in this nonsense.
90-95% of blacks are going to vote for Obama just like they did last time around. Blacks may be utterly ignorant, but they aren’t stupid. They vote for Democrats because they support transfer payments, government favoritism and other freebies. At the heart of voting Democrat is the idea they are being put upon by the rest of society and deserve special government treatment to make things fair. Cain preaches the opposite and will not win their support. Blacks consider Cain a race traitor. Listen to black radio sometime to get an understanding of how much they detest Cain and people like him. We are going to get the same tiny percentage of the black vote no matter which Republican wins the nomination. I think it is even arguable we’d get LESS black votes if Cain was our candidate. Blacks are liable to resent having one of their own tell them the truth, which will make Obama’s pitch even more attractive to them.
