Black Conservatives (like JC Watts) thinking of voting for Obama

Some of the Republicans interviewed, like Armstrong Williams and Colin Powell, well, I could take 'em or leave 'em, but I was surprised that J.C. Watts was thinking of becoming an Obamacan:

J.C. Watts, a former Oklahoma congressman who once was part of the GOP House leadership, said he's thinking of voting for Obama. Watts said he's still a Republican, but he criticizes his party for neglecting the black community. Black Republicans, he said, have to concede that while they might not agree with Democrats on issues, at least that party reaches out to them. "And Obama highlights that even more," Watts said, adding that he expects Obama to take on issues such as poverty and urban policy. "Republicans often seem indifferent to those things."
