No need to worry, this clown would get his lunch eaten in a Presidential run.
All I can figure is this is something dreamed up by lefty journalists, the man isn't even handsome.... and it has nothing to do with being black, there is a lot of very handsome black men, he doesn't happen to be one. If he was drop-dead gorgeous then maybe there would at least be some explanation for the love affair with the man, but in lieu of having that going for him, and having heard him talk, I'm less than impressed with the man. He's down the scale in John Kerry land (IMO).
Can you imagine him in a debate with a VP Cheney like candidate in 08? (not that we will have one....sigh)
