Black conservatives are thinking of voting for Obama. Put aside for a moment the overwhelming desire to mock anyone who calls themself a black conservative (and the ones who are gay too, well, let’s not even go there). This article is actually quite fascinating. Black conservatives are actually saying that they’re not sure how they vote against Obama. Now, not like they’re a very large voting bloc. But, they’re evidence of something else. Obama’s ability to reach across the aisle and entice the middle, or in this case, the right. And, it takes away McCain’s ability to woo blacks, and more importantly, and the true reason Republicans tend to woo blacks, it takes away McCain’s ability to convince moderate whites that Republicans actually care about blacks. That’s why the GOP reaches out to blacks, to win liberal Republican whites by “proving” that the party isn’t intolerant. And if even conservative blacks are deserting the party for Obama, that’s interesting.
