Black Conservatives Torn Between McCain, Obama
After a long primary season, conservative voters are mobilizing behind Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain while some conservative African-Americans are finding themselves torn between McCain and Democratic candidate Sen. Barack Obama. Radio talk-show host Armstrong Williams and political commentator Michael Fauntroy, an assistant professor at George Mason University, discuss the unique split. :eyes:

3. Sounds like he didn't get his check and I don't buy that he's torn.
He's just covering for the raciest that won't vote for Obama because of his race. Armstrong is implying that African Americans are only voting for Obama because of his race. Many will use Armstrong fake indifference to justify why they won't vote for Obama.
