The “Black Republican PAC” has released a television ad playing in Ohio attacking Barack Obama for appeasing terrorists, raising taxes, and “support[ing] infanticide.” Strong words for a man who’s been described as “the black Martin Luther King!”

Black Republicans are a strong and vibrant group, as demonstrated by their determination to not have any African-American Republicans in either house of Congress, stretching back nearly six years to when Rep. J.C. Watts (R-OK) retired from public service. Their influence in this election will surely be tremendous.
