Black Repubs. FAR over-represent Black Repub. voters. Robert Traynham, Ron Christie, Joe Watson, Lenny McAllister, Michelle Bernard, Amy Holmes, Angela McGlowan, and Princella Smith are all Black Repub. strategists, and I'm sure I'm leaving some out.

When I see a Dem. debating a Repub. on tv, the Black strategist is almost always the REPUB. Anyone else notice this? You'd think Repubs. get more than 50% of the Black people vote if you went by the representation in the media. It seems that ever since Obama became president, they've been getting more and more face time.

1. They're opportunists... carpetbaggers, sellouts, big fish in a little pond.
You can't really blame 'em. The Republics need tokens and these few are willing to leverage their limited talents for $$$$.

2. You're right...
Black Repub. Strategists have seemed to be in high demand ever since Obama became President.
