there are voters out there who are at least open to being persuaded.

The biggest misconception of many Republican politicians is that 90% of Black folks are unpersuadable, despite the fact that Republicans like Jack Kemp, Arlen Specter, Mike Huckabee and Chris Christie have already dispelled this myth with their own success with Black voters.

Yeah, it's more like 80%. (Partially kidding)

Chris Christie's "resounding success" with AA voters was 20%.

Well it's kinda hard not seeing it that way since they do vote over 90% for Dems.

In your opinion, what would a Republican candidate for president have to do to get a quarter or more of the black vote?

The huge problem for folks consistently voting in a 90% bloc for one party is not that the opposition party will regard them as unpersuadable, but rather that their own party will take them for granted.

A 90% bloc vote strongly encourages a more-of-the-same approach. In concert with Elbert Guillory's premise, the question folks within such a bloc should ask is "Is a more-of-the-same approach what we need?" In this case, that question barely appears as a blip.
