Actually you did have a black Republican running for President this year. His name was Alan Keyes. He was in the debates in Iowa and registered over 1% of the vote I believe. He became disaffected and refused to acknowledge McCain's win and eventually went for the Constitution Party's nomination, which he lost as well.
You might remember him better when he was drafted to run against Barack Obama and bused in (intentional racial analogy there) to Illinois run. And failed miserably.
