It wouldn't take much of a desertion of the black vote to make Democrat hopes of recapturing Washington a permanent pipe dream.

From Professor William's keyboard to Gods ear.

America has a choice: 1) Tastes Great! 2) Less Fulfilling

Too bad she's said she won't run. Still, I'd like to run her run for an office and see how she does. She exhibits grace , style and dignity along with what appears to be some great ability.

Mrs. Clinton will trump Sec. Rice when the Senator gains the support of Bishop T. D. Jakes. Shoo-in~~

If blacks come to embrace triumph, rather than grievance, the wound to liberal Democrats would be mortal.

Hey, it's early in 2006. Nobody is running now, except for Hillary! and Johnnie McQueeg. The former has been running since 1992 and the latter still thinks he was cheated out of the Presidency in 2000.

The normal pattern is to let the mid-term elections run their course and to announce in the Spring/Summer of the year before the elections. That way you let the early runners flame out, and you are expending your energy while everybody is paying attention.

As far as I can tell, Rice has made no Shermanesque statment regarding the Presidency in 2008. Until she does, my tagline remains...

Even if Rice were to run and win, the Democrats would still be screaming that she's just a token black.

They can scream whatever they like. We'll take the "W".

And maybe, just maybe, some African Americans will wake up and realize who is trying to help them and who wants to keep them down on the farm.

African Americans? You mean like Teresa Heinz (Kerry) and Charlize Theron?

With all due respect, I think it's time for everybody, especially Freepers, to "just say no" to the hyphenated American model.

After my 1st grade daughter came home from school talking about African Americans, I educated her about why that phrase is inaccurate, and forbade her to use it around me. Ditto "Native American" -- all eight of my daughter's great grand parents were Jews from Eastern Europe, but I made her see that because she was born here, she is just as much a "Native American" as Pocahontas ever was.

You have a point, but I just call people what they seem to want to be called.

The fact of the matter is that race matters in American politics. If 95% of a particular race votes for a particular party, their racial identification becomes relevant. It should not be so, but there it is.

The fact remains that the Republicans are the party of racial equality and the Donks want to perpetuate racial grievances.

Great picture of Condi. I think if she runs, she wins against Hillary. If she runs and the Democrats put up another candidate, it's possible but not assured.

I agree. But I think we help the Democrats achieve that aim when we accept and use their blatantly incorrect agenda-driven euphemisms. Who defines the terminology controls the debate.
