IMO he (West) would not pick up one additional black vote. ______________________________________________________________ I hope, you don't mind me disagreeing with you my friend. But, I say West would take at least 10 - 15 percent of the Black vote away from Obama. There are a lot of Blacks who are pissed, big-time, at Obama because he has NOT delivered for the Brothas the way they thought he would. I met a young Black man the other day at the VA and he was "scorched drawers" mad at Obama and the shape the country is in. He said he was voting Republican this year. If West is in the VP slot, they could vote for the GOP Ticket and not feel like they had "abandoned" their Race because they are still voting for a Black man.

Don't mind you disagreeing because I have an answer for you. :>)They could for the GOP, but in my opinion, they wouldn't. Overwhelmingly they vote for Obama for two reasons: the first being that he's black and the second for the potential freebies, the freebies West would not promise.
