It seems, that from some strange reason, the Republican message wasn't really resonating with African-American voters, even before Obama's candidacy.
Republican rebranding to appeal to minority voters is the best ongoing political schtick in the US. It's like the swallows returning to Capistrano, except every four years.
Turns out that it's hard to undo your brand when you've spent 45 years building your campaigns around dog-whistle (and train-whistle) attacks on 40% of the electorate, and half your elected officials still haven't gotten the memo to ixnay the atehay.
