Do this hypothetical with me: An Obama vs. Cain election

[bluestateguy]

How would it play out? Obama's advantages, disadvantages? Cain's strengths and weaknesses? Could Cain get more than the 5% of the black vote that John McCain won? White folks with racist views, where do their votes go?

1. Racist righties stay home and fume...Obama in a landslide...

It would be black and beautiful!

4. Yep. Cain would get the wealthy right-wing blacks, Obama everyone else. n/t

6. Not to mention, Cain is even more insane than most of the Republicans.

If I can't have Palin as the Republican nominee, I'll happily settle for Cain.

7. 30% of black people would vote Cain? I don't believe that for a second.

Just get him to start talking about how there's no such thing as racism.

5. Cain may win over some Black voters in south'n states, especially mine.

But a retubby would win those states anyway.

Cain is all weaknesses. I cannot think of any strengths.

Obama's big problem is jobs and a warehouse of undelivered hope.

8. Remember Obama vs. Keys?

If not, google it.

9. Thank you for bringing that up.

The President has experience running against an African-American right-wing wacko. He knows what to do.

10. And if nothing else, Obama is the incumbent, which works in his favor.
