"Hip Hop Republican" group seeks a place and platform at the 2008 RNC

Tuesday, September 02, 2008

There's a micro-sized voting bloc you probably haven’t heard about this election cycle: "Hip Hop Republican." The group has a blog, an agenda and several members attending the Republican National Convention. But what does this apparent contradiction of terms really mean? And what does the group think of the convention and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as Arizona Senator McCain's VP pick? We speak with group member Claudio Simpkins, a conventioneer, former Huckabee volunteer and student at Harvard law.
Guest: Claudio Simpkins, Harvard law student and member of the group "Hip Hop Republican"
