5:09Now Playing"The Republicans have found their stab in the back. It was the minorities what done them in.
In just four years, U.S. presidential politics has gone from "the black guy can't win" to "only the black guy can win."
Barack Obama disproved the first notion with his victory in 2008, but Mitt Romney and his few loyal minions are now pushing the second.
