WASHINGTON - Black conservative talk show host Armstrong Williams has never voted for a Democrat for president. That could change this year with Barack Obama as the Democratic Party's nominee.
"I don't necessarily like his policies; I don't like much that he advocates, but for the first time in my life, history thrusts me to really seriously think about it," Williams said. "I can honestly say I have no idea who I'm going to pull that lever for in November. And to me, that's incredible."
Just as Obama has touched black Democratic voters, he has engendered conflicting emotions among black Republicans. They revel over the possibility of a black president but wrestle with the thought that the Illinois senator doesn't sit beside them ideologically.
"Among black conservatives," Williams said, "they tell me privately, it would be very hard to vote against him in November."

I see here too, that Armstrong Williams is thinking this also. Thank God, that Thomas Sowell is still thinking clearly.
Note to JC:"I have always held you in high esteem. I suspect that you did not pursue the ladder of politics higher than you did, perhaps because you wanted to keep your personal life private. You're an athelete, doubtless there are skeleton, but supporting Obama at thie time in the life of this country is tantamount to betraying all that you stand for as a man, an American.

Oops! Here is the other site...
Notice to all clowns, idiots, and otherwise dumb. Obama is not black. He is more white than black. Stand up and judge the man on the content of his character. Give me a break!
Starting to find out what people are really made of.
So to them the color of Obama's skin is more important than the content of his character.
As an Americn of Italian heritage, I would NEVER vote for Cuomo and did not support Giuliani.
As a Catholic I supported the mormon, romney.
Identity politics is ridiculous.
Some people are embarrassed to admit to pollsters and/or the public that they don't support the black guy, so they say they do.
In the voting booth, there won't be anybody to show off for.
Love It
As we have seen in the socialist party aka democrat primaries, in some states over 90% of blacks voted for hussein.
Now, who`s racist again?
One's heart and one's head are more difficult to disentangle than one likes to admit to one's self.
It's not as if McCain is compelling enough from their perspective to ignore history.
The black bond of stupidity.
JC was interviewed by Hannity a couple of months ago and he rationalized the Rev. Wright scandal.
bttt
I like Armstrong, but what he has admitted makes him a racist, no matter who he ends up voting for.
Perhaps some. But I can't imagine the likes of Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Larry Elder, Ward Connerly, Michael Steele, etc. punching the chad of a candidate based solely on the color of his skin.
I lost any esteem for JC Watts when I discovered he was a big supporter of affirmative action. I am not surprised that he may (read will) vote Obama. Armstrong Williams is a surprise, however.
Since Armstrong is pro-abortion, I never trusted him.
I hope this isn’t true. I am a huge fan of J.C. Watts.
Like Oprah, this has nothing to do with race.
