I think you would agree, while Mr. Steele is a fine man, J.C. is a true conservative and more experienced than is Mr. Steele.

I'm a big fan of JC Watts myself, and would love to see him on the ticket, as he's been one of the better communicators of conservative principles we've seen in some time, as we saw in 1997 when he delivered the Republican response to the State of the Union Address. He also has some of my favorite quotes in politics, like ,"As my daddy use to say to me, dogs don't bark at parked cars."

However, if he is chosen to run for Vice President, I want it to be on his own considerable merits, and not simply to appeal to the "black vote". That sort of race pandering is unworthy of the Republican Party, as I think we've prided ourselves in recent years on being the colorblind party that values individuals based on their own qualities, not their membership in a demographic group that can claim historical victimhood.
