1. Of course they will.
Sometimes I feel upset about the fact that they would vote for a person just because they are black. I know a lot of white's won't vote for a black candidate. But there are a lot of white's who vote for a black. Look at New England. And the grand old state of Virginia had the first black governor.

But see the way the blacks in Maryland voted for Steele. There could not have been a more crooked individual that the republicans could put up for office, but the blacks voted for him because he was black. And I am not a racist. Way back in the 50's and 60's when racism ran rampant, my husband and I recruited the first black cub scout. There were a lot of protest but we signed him up anyway. We took him to the places that we went..whites only. And felt that he was just as good as anybody there. So when I say it upsets me that a black democrat would vote for a black republican just because he was black, it is not racist.
