The statistic means nothing in an of itself. First, likely voters in this election cycle are going to be older, more white, and more conservative than they usually are in mid-term elections, so blacks planning to vote will be more conservative than the cohort who voted for 0bama in 2008.

Second, the question does not track to any specific Tea Party candidates, which would be more meaningful. It's like the question: would you vote for a black person for President? Why yes, of course I would, in principle. I would not vote for the current (half-black) President, or for any black person currently in Congress.

Frank Luntz has been claiming for about -- oh, all of his career -- that a black Republican ascendancy based on social issues is just around the corner. It's baloney. The 10-12% of blacks who are conservative are very conservative. The 90% who aren't are foaming at the mouth leftists. They are never coming over to the side of goodness and light.

So, you know my family! LOL

You're right on the mark, my friend, except for the fact that there are black people waking up every day of the week. It's still somewhat below the radar, but it is happening.
