The next time a black person like you or Mr. Steele or Miss Rice runs, it won’t be oh, s/he’s different, they’re Republican. It will be “remember the last time…”. No, it’s not fair, but fairness is not an issue in politics. That is why we need the first black president to be a Reagan, not a Carter. We need the first black president to set a high standard. Not one who will set a new standard for bad.
Don’t bring Michael Steele into this, he has EMPHATICALLY stated he will NOT vote for Obama and will work hard to defeat him.
