(Daily Caller) — Three black Republican House candidates are in a position to possibly join the 2011 congressional freshman class, but the official spokesman for the Congressional Black Caucus refused to say Monday whether they will be invited to join the traditionally Democratic group. “It’s an issue that will be addressed when it’s relevant to be addressed,” said CBC spokesman J. Jioni Palmer, who punted to previous statements made about the issue. Of 14 black Republican candidates this year, Tim Scott of South Carolina, Allen West of Florida and Ryan Frazier of Colorado are in reach of winning their districts. While West and Frazier’s races are considered toss-ups, Scott has a comfortable lead over his Democratic challenger and is widely considered a shoe-in.
