No. Too many blacks on the government dole to convert to conservativism. No matter how good the GOP candidate and how bad the DNC candidate, a majority of blacks will always vote Democrat. No being racist, just being honest.

All you've done is expose your ignorance. FYI, most Blacks are middle-class, while only a minority live on government assistance, but Black folks vote overwhelmingly Democrat across the socio-economic spectrum, as do Jews and Asians, two groups of people who on average, are better off economically than White Americans. I have about a dozen relatives and friends who are one percenters (high-six or seven-figure incomes), but all of them vote Democrat 90% of the time in statewide and federal elections (the percentage is much lower in local elections). Like me, they have all voted Republican on occasion, but the GOP just hasn't presented them with many opportunities to vote Republican over the last 50 years. Rand Paul provides us with one of those rare opportunities to vote Republican and I hope it happens more frequently in the future.

Link? Seriously, I would love to see the evidence to support this. If you can provide it, I will admit I was wrong.

I'm aware of that. But re: Rand Paul "bringing blacks back to the GOP," those in higher socio-economic categories would be much, much more likely to convert first. IMO.
