for transparent reasons in my view.

don't get me wrong, I admire her accomplishments but her stance on abortion kills the deal for me. I want my president to at least pretend to be pro-life. and I have not seen enough on her expertise aside from foreign policy to merit all this heroine worship except over her gender and race which don't mean squat to me.

however...I have no doubt that at this juncture the first woman or minority president will be ostensibly conservative.

nor do I think Jindhal lost due to racism. LA is strongly Dem (arguably the strongest and longest history of electing Dems in the country since Reconstrucion) and the image of Blanco ...however flawed ...was that she is a social conservative which is where the rubber meets the road down here.

I think most of the race baitors on this thread are reaching and canard purveying. LA can change though, it's just slow. It's the last southern state to get on board but it will in time hopefully. Arkansas is not the same issue. Hutchinson lost due to his messy divorce, hence we are back again to social conservatism being the defining factor here...not race. Conservatives will support a true conservative minority in a heartbeat and enjoy doing so.
