The role black Republicans play has nothing to do with winning over black voters Rather, it’s all about reassuring white Republicans that there’s nothing wrong with the party’s approach to racial issues.
It got me thinking about black Republicans in Alabama. Tuskegee's Johnny Ford used to be a Republican, but I think he returned to his Democrat roots.
Others? If not, why not? The state GOP has tried over the years to attract more black members and candidates, with little success.
[UPDATE: GOP makes big gains in poor, young, white males. Especially since President obama's election.]
