Obviously, the GOP is overwhelmingly white, yet there's still a small segment of black voters who identify as Republicans, and who will vote in the primaries.  What % of them will vote for Cain?

(If you like, you can also predict how Asian Republicans, Latino Republicans, Jewish Republicans, and atheist Republicans will vote.)

What if you add all black Republicans from all four states together and calculate the overall %ages?  Cain narrowly ahead of Gingrich?

And does Romney's lack of love from the black GOPers have something to do with Mormonism's uh....."colorful" history with race?

I don't know if it would matter that much unless it is a very close result

Of course it doesn't "matter".  I just think it's an interesting question.

I just looked at Inisder Advantage's (not a very good pollster, but all we have in this case) IA/NH/SC/FL polls, and added up all the responses from likely GOP primary voters who are black from all four states and combined them, with my own re-weighting.  From all four states combined, their polls only have 52 responses from black GOP primary voters (nearly half of them in Florida).  What I came up with was this:

Cain 36%
Gingrich 29%
Romney 15%
Paul 11%
Bachmann 4%
everyone else 0%
undecided 5%

MOE is enormous, because there are only 52 respondents here.
