Obama might make hillary's VP but with only two years,he can't look for more than that.

The rats do leave the black voter base wide open to us many times, but for some reason we can never capitalize.

For instance my guess is that nancy will leave alcee swinging in the wind and will not nominate him for intel chair.

There is no down side from the rats point of view.

They only need the black vote for one day out of every two years and they make that plain and crystal clear over and over again. It's up to us to capitalize on that.

I agree with this. Not that I would necessarily welcome it, but Powell is a much better candidate in terms of national appeal than Obama. Condoleezza is also more compelling than Barak in terms of accomplishment. I am speaking here only in pragmatic terms as they apply to crossing over into the opposition's territory with the best possibility of overall success.
