Obama will retain 95%+ of the black vote no matter who we nominate.

We will have to wait and see what actually happens if Herman Cain is our nominee, but I would be very surprised if he didn't get significantly more than 5% of the black vote.

Many blacks are devout Christians, many oppose abortion, many oppose gay marriage, and many are concerned about the rates of welfare dependency, criminality and out-of-wedlock childbirth among young blacks. What do Obama and the 'Rats offer blacks who hold these values?

Herman Cain is an honest, intelligent, hard-working, devout man who has made his own way through this world. He is a role model for all Americans.

Obama is a corrupt, incompetent punk and a charlatan.

Blacks who are moral, clear-thing people who value self-reliance and fair play will regard Herman Cain favorably as compared to Obama.

The 5% of Blacks who are moral, clear-thing people who value self-reliance and fair play will regard Herman Cain favorably as compared to Obama.

There...fixed it for you.

I agree that we will have to wait and see.

Assuming that Mr. Cain will become the Republican nominee, and I hope he will, it seems premature to count on Black racism to maintain President Obama's high percentage. He hasn't succeeded in doing much for them lately -- they have taken bad hits economically -- and that can be important.

I don't think we should support Mr. Cain because he may wean more Black voters from the Democrat plantation than a non-Black candidate. Doing so would be "racist" and congruent with what I think the Democrat party focused on in nominating Senator Obama in 2008.

The great anguish resulting from Mr. Cain's lead in the polls produced smear attacks against him and whatever candidate now or later attains the lead will have to deal with more of the same. Perhaps we should focus on who is best able to fulfill his duties as the President rather than on the other stuff.
