Herman Cain, the choice of bigots.

I'm sure there's probably an element to the notion that supporting Herman Cain flatters white Republicans who might be, shall we say, not very progressive on race.

But the fact is, Cain ran for president for nearly a year as an unrepentant bigot, arguably the first time we've seen that at the presidential level since George Wallace in 1968 -- and that's why he's attracted so many bigots.
