If Herman Cain doesn't place well in the republican convention ...?

should he consider a run as an independant or a libertarian candidate. And, would you vote for him? Then further, would this be a problem for Obama by the general population having a legitimate Black candidate to vote for? I mean would it hurt Obama, help Obama, or have no effect ?

Traditionally Black voters almost always vote democrat straight tickets. In Obama's case there were 118% of the total eligible voters in that demographic that voted for Obama. So if Herman cain ran as an independant, it would seem that he would hurt the Obama re-election campaign. The republicans would lose some black votes, but the Dems would suffer more ... it would seem...

hey coach .. that's not liberal math. The information came from GAO and the Elections board. The truth is there were over 32+ million votes cast than were registered. It's entirely possible Obama Lost the election, but the count is so corrupted we may never know. The bottom line is will Herman Cain running as an independent hurt Obama's reelection process?

I think that is something of a liberal dream, to have the Republican vote split like that. But I don't see that happening this cycle, at least. One thing all the candidates agree on is that Obama must go.

Herman Cain has a very bright future in the Republican Party, he is too smart to throw that away in a fit of hubris. I suspect once the convention selects a candidate, all the candidates will close ranks and support the new official candidate. I know the people who are likely to give money to the campaign expect that to occur.

As a third party candidate Herman Cain (or Ron Paul) would take more votes away from the Republicans than the Democrats.

It would help Obama (not that he needs it).

Well if you keep using that Liberal math then anything is possible the most that could vote for any one candidate is 100% of eligible voters that extra 18% is an impossibility
