Will Herman Cain help the GOP capture the Black vote?
The former businessman announced his candidacy last week and is gaining quiet momemtum
I don't think his skin color is going to give him any edge. If he gets any notable amounts of followers, they will probably be heavily religious and conservative. Black, white, yellow or brown has very little to do with it.
He isn't running for the black vote; he's a very respectable conservative that many people agree with. I don't think anyone who voted for Obama because he was black will vote for Cain because he is. And thank goodness, we don't need that mess again!
It is hard for me to believe that an intelligent person would choose a leader of the free world by color, or religion or even party. If he is the best man for the job, that will become evident as he campaigns.
He might be able to take some of the Black vote away from Obama, but he isn't playing to Black voters. As Herman puts it, "I am an American first". He doesn't play the race card. I think he will probably do well among the Independent voters regardless of their color.
No, Herman Cain will not help the GOP capture the black vote. And that is because Cain is a stone-cold conservative and the vast majority of blacks are not drawn to conservatives, not even black ones.
Keep in mind, such black conservatives as Justice Clarence Thomas, Condaleeza Rice, Thomas Sowell and I ;-) are VERY unpopular among blacks.
Yes. Many of the Black Christians would vote for him over Obama. Obama's Muslim roots have surfaced, and many Christian voters want to vote for one of their own.

I was going to do a Hub on this idiot pertaining to his ignorance and letting himself be used. Maybe, he's the genius and we're the idiots. How can anyone take this man serious? He's a joke..an embarassment. Not because of possible sexual misconduct, but everytime he opens...

It's just for chuckles, not a serious discussion. There have been countless Voter ID discussions and the 'anti's' are seldom able to support their opposition, but when I saw this tweet it brought a chuckle.The gist: apparently the UK government is now requiring an ID to vote. It also appears that,...

Forget who is behind bringing these 12-year-old allegations forward at this particular juncture (ladies and gentlemen, place your bets. I'll wager even money that it was Perry and not Romney).Politics is a dirty business. Nothing's too low.So as we know, sexual harrassment charges were leveled...

This is worth watching. It shows the experience of black conservatives in the United States. It is very powerful. I challenge everyone to click on the link I've provided and watch the movie's trailer."The film simply asks: “Why is there no respectful disagreement in the black...

I kind a feel sorry for the poor guy. I don't think he would be foolish enough to run for president knowing he had all this stuff in the closet. I wonder if his closest competitor, Mitt is digging up this dirt on Cain.
