I expect it when TheOne loses. Riots and killings nationwide.

. . . which is one reason why I advocate the nomination of a black conservative VP. Not to win black votes, that won't happen, but to help unify the country when black votes aren't enough to put a black racist in the White House. Put a black conservative on the ticket to model the fact that blacks don't all listen the the Jeremiah Wrights of the world.

And, in extremis, to put down riots if they occur.

But if there are riots again, we must have governors and a president who will read the riot act to journalism and tell them that they will not promote lawlessness and survive. I still wonder why the Koreans of LA didn't sue the socks off of journalism.

You must be joking. If 90% of blacks voted for Gore, 95% will vote for Obama. Putting an "Uncle Tom" on the ticket will do NOTHING to change that. He will just be called an "oreo."

Besides, there are ZERO black pubbies who are viable Veep candidates. Condi is incompetant, Michael Steele has never run anything, etc.

The affirmative action wing of the GOP are clueless on all of the above.
