No, having a black nominee for no other reason than the fact that Obama is black would not work. Republicans ALREADY tried this tactic against him for the Illinois senators seat. Brought in Alan Keyes from Maryland who just got massacred in the polls.
Shifting the goalposts a little aren't we? And why pray tell didn't Oprah give him the thumbs up? Is it perchance because black people take policy into account when they decide which candidate to back? Surely not!lowing wrote:

New legislation should soon allow refugees to work before being granted asylum. If you get a working visa, you can claim unemployment benefits until you find a job. The govt won't hook you up with a job, but they will look for one suitable for you when you have registered yourself as an unemployed jobseeker (compulsary if you want unemployment benefits).usmarine wrote:

I can't see the wisdom of putting forth a black GOP nominee, unless the goal is to win the most blackness competition instead of being 50-50.

They didn't call it Obamamania for nothing. Obamamania took on a life of its own to the point where issues didn't matter. IT WAS OBAMA, and notheing else mattered.

Should they run one in an election soon? Yes, but he has to be backed an awesome PR team just as Obama was.
I never said he was elected because he was black solely. Being Black only solidified the minority vote
I said he was elected because, coupled with his race, and the votes that drew, he was made out to be celebrity, a rock star. People fainting at the sight of him. He was made out to be the second coming Christ.
All of what I just mentioned along with the entitlement attitude that America embraces is what got him elected. Celebrity worship and not the issues saw him into the white house.
Why didn't he stand a chance in the first place? He was black.. that trumps all for a black voter according to your argument.lowing wrote:

What lowing is missing is that, like many other Presidents in the past, Obama had all the right ingredients, but for some reason lowing can only focus on the black ingredient. Obama is young, dynamic, charismatic, articulate, he oozes calmness, has an aura of wisdom and intelligence and had all the right policies as far as the majority of the American people were concerned... he is also black. Lowing has been consistently suggesting that black voters the length and breadth of the country did not care about all these other factors and only voted for him because he was a 'brotha', which is incredibly insulting towards black people...teddy..jimmy wrote:

For every person who only voted for him because he was black, I'd reckon there was one that only didn't vote for him for the same reason.
Remember that most Negroes will always vote for the Democrat, no matter what.

No it doesn't because a black voter will not throw away their vote to anyone who doesn't appear to have a chance. They will take the safe play and vote for the democrat. IF a republican black candidate appeared to actually have a chance to win, issues would not matter and he would win their vote.Braddock wrote:

But im sorry to say, i honestly believe that the elections are so so so greatly influenced by the liberal, government, criminal controlled media, that it would not matter. Who's to say voted are even counted? In this day and age, with the unbelievable shit going on, i wouldn't be suprised.

And all of those ingredients that you say Obama has can not be blended with experience because he has none. "Aura" and nothing tangible, certainly not background, is EXACTLY what got him elected.Braddock wrote:

The elections obviously weren't controlled by the "liberal, government, criminal controlled media" for the last 8 years considering the Republicans won both elections (the first in highly controversial, potentially illegal circumstances too).
Experience doesn't seem to count for much in the eyes of Republicans though lowing, they wanted to back Sarah Palin because she knew what it was like to drive kids to soccer matches.lowing wrote:

Sarah Palin is real. Not a robotic political droid like everyone else currently in power. She believed in the American way, she knew how most real world people thought.Braddock wrote:

Obama has no experience. Period. It's a shame he was elected into the most powerful seat.

The republicans put up a clown as chairman of the RNC. Its so painfully obvious the reason why they put him up.
McCain thought she was ready to be president a few months ago. when asked if he would support her run in 2012 yesterday, he did not commit.DBBrinson1 wrote:
