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.
