NAACP wants Rand Paul to speak

[compromise]

The end game of approaching the NAACP is to not win the black vote for liberty, which is impossible under the current circumstances, but to 'shave' enough of the vote out of the socialist column in order to win some potentially close states in 2016, particularly Virginia, Florida, NJ and so on. If Rand is ready to propose changes on the drug war and prison industrial complex, and offer a way to restore an actively social conservative bent to black voters, that (liberal) 'black leaders' conditioned them out of over the last generation, he could create enough of an electoral shift to pick the lock the Democratic side of the two party paradigm has forged to control 92+% of this community.

Another, potentially more important end game is to affirm the impression that Rand is not a fringe figure associated with racism. This helps us gain moderate and independent white voters.

Every Republican besides Paul seems to think that all thy need to do is put a minority on the ticket and then they'll get all their votes.

Thus Allan West and Herman Cain... how is that working out for them

Obviously not all a candidate needs to do.

But two white males are not going to beat Hillary. VP will need to be a woman, minority or preferably both.

I don't agree. Someone strong on principle, no matter gender or ethnicity will benefit Rand and his campaign. Don't get tripped up into the hype thinking he needs that to help him out.
