Reply #62: I don't think it's about Obama's judgment and credibility

It is about a new metric I am dubbing the MMQ, the "Martin/Malcolm Quotient"

No viable national black candidate can go below a MMQ of 19. That's 95% Martin - 5% Malcolm.

Colin Powell's MMQ is infinity... he is seen as 0% Malcolm. (Dividing by zero)

Louis Farrakhan's MMQ is about 0.01

Pastor gate drives Obama's perceived MMQ (among non-AA swing voter types) down to about 9. (90% Martin, 10% Malcolm.)
