If Herman Cain wins the republican nomination will republicans vote for him just because he's black?

With all the black talk this and that, and with all the talk of certain people only voting for President Obama because he's half black ....if Herman Cain wins the nomination, will republicans vote for him because he's black? Since obviously, no one can vote for a man of color other than the reason that he's black, right?

    LOL Ya kind of have to unless we want to vote for an independent or democrat... he would be the GOP nominee... lol!

    Sounds like we are damned if we do or damned if we don't. We're called racists for not agreeing with Obama and now we'd be only voting for a republican because he's black... hey, here's an idea. Lets give the race chit a break already!

    Republicans will vote for him because he has the political philosophy and solutions for problems that most closely matches theirs, just like any other Republican presidential candidate.

    Here's the thing: Those presently in charge will not be able to play the race card if Cain runs against Obama. Then what will they use ?

    Herman Cain is the best opportunity we have had since Ronald Reagan to get our *bleep* together.

    The basis upon which I have evaluated him as the best candidate for me is not party affiliated or racial in nature.

    He says what he thinks with no hesitation. He does not apologize for it. He has common sense and even more than that, he USES it.

    The question is, will liberals vote against him because of his ideas and policies? Haven't they been screaming that any opposition to Obama's policies is automatically racist?

    So, if they oppose him on anything, they are, by their own reasoning, racist, right?

    Delicious!

    He did great in the Debate. I like him. Seems like a smart guy and he has practical experience. That would be an improvement from obama.

    No we will vote for hum because he was born in the USA and not a Marxist.

    I'll vote for him because he isn't a career politician, his business experience, and his political philosophy.

    38% of the Republican party still thinks Obama isn't an American. Cain would have a very hard time winning the Southern vote, which is the Republican party's largest voting bloc.
