They're not going to vote Dem, and 89% won't stay home. Those that do will be offset by the surge of moderate black and women voters thrilled to finally have a winner on the presidential ticket

You are articulating a losing argument both on principle and on pragmatism. Geraldino Ferraro didn't push Walter Mondale into office. If you think the American moderate center is stupid enough to be wooed by labels like "black woman centrist," you are saying that people will buy mustard if you put a catsup label on it. The issues will come out, and the American people are beginning to vote values. Condi is too immature on the values front to get that vote, and without it, she will lose.

"Geraldino Ferraro didn't push Walter Mondale into office. "

Because she and he were both left leaning, out of the mainstream. Condi is not. The arguments you people make about Condi are the same ones you made about G.W. Bush. You think that the secret to winning and keeping the White House is to pander to the farthest right edge of the Republican Party. There's no evidence with which to back up your assertion.

So, once again, I say, "Go Condi!"
