They won’t vote for Cain because he’s an “Uncle Tom”. He “acts white”, has “sold out to the man”, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
Black Democrats aren’t voting for a Republican. Anybody who believes black people will be moved by a Republican simply because he is black is fooling themselves.
It’s time we gave up on the black outreach pipedream. And I am certified black enough to say it
Remember, we’re talking the primary, not the general election. Since it looks like there will be no contest in the democrat primary, why would democrats - black or white - not vote in the GOP primary to sway the outcome?
Once that is done, most will vote for Obama in the general. You’re right there.
Not my point at all. FWIW, I agree that a black Democrat would never vote for a black Republican in a general election. My question is whether in the absence of a Democratic contest, and without the option to support a Democrat, would they support a black Republican.
You really made me think with this post. It’s not just black democrats that might do this. Moderate independents might vote in the primaries for Romney. Lefty liberal types might do the same, or vote for Cain because they think he won’t be widely supported by Republicans. Whatever the case, I can’t see a lot voting for Perry. He’s definitely not their type.
