Well, today Herman Cain came right out and admitted what we all knew: he’s a token African American Republican, being used by the party in a blatant attempt to pander to black people and get their votes: Cain says his race will help the GOP.

Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain is claiming his race will help him win over African American voters.

In a seven-page mailer sent to Iowans over the weekend, Cain writes, “as a descendent of slaves I can lead the Republican Party to victory by garnering a large share of the black vote, something that has not been done since Dwight Eisenhower garnered 41 percent of the black vote in 1956.”
