I believe that people can come to an unbiased conclusion whether they are black, white, male, female, Dem or Rep.
Really? You might be interested in this bridge I have . . .
D.C. juries tilt heavily against white conservative Republicans. That is common knowledge. D.C. is about the worst place for a white conservative Republican to be tried, which is why defense attorneys for white conservative Republicans always try for changes of venue. (Ask Oliver North what he thinks of D.C. juries.)
Add this to the fact that it is almost impossible to overstate the hatred and paranoia felt by the citizens of Washington D.C. towards everything Bush. They'll get back at him for stealing the 2000 election by preventing blacks from voting and for dragging that black man behind his pickup truck in that TV ad.
