Default Black conservatives conflicted on Barack Obama campaign

(As I have always believed, in the end race trumps all, even vast political differences, sad but true)

KWQC-TV6 News and Weather For The Quad Cities - Black conservatives conflicted on Obama campaign

WASHINGTON (AP) - Black conservatives are wrestling with a decision in this year's presidential election: Vote for someone who shares their conservative values or vote for someone trying to become the first black president in American history.
It is a tough decision. Black conservative talk show host Armstrong Williams says he's thinking about voting for a Democrat for president for the first time in his life. And he says other black conservative Republicans are considering doing the same.
It's the same with former Oklahoma congressman J.C. Watts. Watts says he's still a Republican but is critical of his party for neglecting the black community. He says black Republicans have to concede that while they may not agree with Democrats on issues, at least the party reaches out to them.
