Trust me, he will be loyal to the NAACP, Obama, and blacks only. He is an identity politics kind of guy, I have seen him interviewed many times on CNN.
Unfortunately, blacks still believe that the Democrat party is their path to a successful life, they still believe they need government. Even after 50 years of evidence to the contrary. They are unreachable as a whole.
Why doesn't he just run for Mayor?
Well, I don’t believe in totally giving up on the Black vote, and think we need aggressive and creative ways to reach out to them. I’ve written about this considerably, and half the problem is that we don’t even ask for their vote. If you don’t even do that, we shouldn’t be surprised when they vote 90% or higher for the Dems.
Oops, didn’t answer the second part of your question... Yes, he should run for Mayor, that would give us an idea of how he’d perform in a political capacity. We had a Black Republican businessman run for NOLA Mayor who switched to the Dems as a matter of convenience, he managed to get elected and did pretty well... until a natural disaster named Katrina hit and he turned into an incompetent basketcase. You probably know his name. Goes to show that not all Republicans are up for the job of leadership.
