re: #46 Charles

That doesn’t pertain to my point. He’s intended to legitimize the Republican Party among African American voters, whether he’s the nominee or not. That’s the purpose of a token politician — an appeal to emotion, to try to trick black voters into thinking they’re welcome on the right.

You’re right, of course. But damn few AA voters would go for Newt Gingrich, or any ticket with Newt Gingrich anywhere close to it no matter what Cain or any other person of any ethnicity will say or do between now and election day.

And unbelievably, it looks like Gingrich might actually be on the ticket. This respectful treatment by Bill Bennett turned my stomach:

Unbelievable.
