The trend might provide the GOP a welcomed opportunity to expand its base.
Some of the emerging black Republican candidates have excellent resumes:
--State Rep. Tim Scott (R-SC) spent 13 years on the Charleston County Council.
--Deon Long made law review at the University of Michigan Law School before practicing law in Winter Park, Florida.
--Les Phillip in Huntsville, Alabama, is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy.
--Angela McGlowan in Oxford, Mississippi, was a Fox News analyst before launching her congressional bid.
--Lou Huddleston in Fayetteville, North Carolina, retired from the Army as a full colonel in 2003 and has since been both a civic and business leader in the district.

12:47 go wash your sheet.
It's not surprising that more blacks are running within the GOP. The Dems have spent 50 years beating down minorities and they're getting that now... I applaud conservative's of any ilk that have made the decision to get involved and turn the tide in favor of the Constitution and freedom for all.
