Cory Booker's just the whitest looking black man, he's like a bargain basement Mr. Clean with a little too much tan in a can.

Liz looks small and old and even more schoolmarmish here.

Also there was a lot of pandering to Hispanics and less toward blacks.

In a TV news show, I saw the Miami Police calvary patrol but no crowd to corral
I did note less horse-crap outside, than the bull-crap inside inside.
