Imagine Herman Cain winning the GOP nomination and bigots ...
Imagine Herman Cain winning the GOP nomination and bigots forced to choose between 2 black men. Their little heads would pop right off.

1. The bigots will somehow claim that Herman is not really black.

2. They're already claiming Obama is not really black and Cain says he's a black American.

Cain will hang himself. He's arrogant and he can't keep his mouth shut! I can't believe he thinks he'll ever be president.

3. Better yet, they stay home
Think about what that means. Depressed turnout for the R's, NO bigot votes in those all very important but largely ignored local races. Imagine how many Dems would sneak onto school boards and city councils in nominally red areas. The surprise win Dem mayors, and sheriffs, and even State Reps and Senators. All just because the racist assholes were too busy fuming over the Presidential race and refused to show up.

It all sounds positively lovely to me.

4. You mean the Imperial Godfather of the KKK?
If teabaggers close their eyes and just listen to Cain, he's really no different than the race-baiters they're so used to hearing.
