Black Conservatives Conflicted Over Obama, McCain

Deciding which presidential candidate to support could be a challenge for many black conservatives.

They can vote for Barack Obama — the man who could be the first African-American president of the United States — or choose to support John McCain, the Republican candidate who shares many of their same political views.
