I didn't see this posted so I hope it hasn't been. Interesting opinion from Mr. Morris.

[Savage Beast]

Okay. Condoleezza for President!

There. That was easy, wasn't it?

Once a democrat insider, always a democrat insider.

[Salvey]

Dick, stick to sucking toes; your track record in that department is better than your political prognostications.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

The article assumes that political parties have any real relevance. The issue will probably be decided by other means. In time.

[boris]

"Unless the Republican Party can crack the Democratic lock on these key constituencies, it is headed for extinction."

Unless the Republicans figure out that they need to DEPORT all ILLEGALS, they are doomed.

"Amnesty for Hispanic immigrants likely holds some of the same kind of political clout among the ranks of Spanish-speaking voters that the 1964 and 1965 Civil Rights acts did among African-Americans. The congressional Republican leadership dragged its feet on this key legislation and the Democrats are now likely to preempt the issue."

Rounding up and DEPORTING all illegal immigrants is the only hope for the continued existence of the United States.

Powell is a Republican Jimmy Carter. It will be a disaster for the GOP, there's no way I would ever vote for him.

[iamright]

I say get back to solid, constitutional principles, race be damned, and fight like hell for our republic.

If the socialists and racists win control in elections and continue destroying our country, then patriots should take the fight to the streets, and fight like hell harder for our republic.

the Republican Party is running out of white people.

Wrong

The white liberal is the problem. There are overwhelming more than enough white voters for the GOP to be dominant but the problem is too many are ingrained democrats

[soccermom]

Ditto!

Dear Mr. Morris:

When the republican party becomes extinct...and capitalism is dead....that will be the end of the USA.

[Torie]

The erosion of GOP strength in New Jersey is not primarily due to Latins and Blacks, nor really is it in Florida to the extent there has been erosion. It is due more to cultural issues, and to the changing profile of Anglo voters in Florida. Morris is being sloppy here with his analysis.

"Powell is a Republican Jimmy Carter. It will be a disaster for the GOP, there's no way I would ever vote for him."

Not even if he's the lesser of two evils?

the Republican Party is running out of white people

Hispanics and Blacks will not continue block voting for the same party for very long. Their interests and agendas are not that compatable. One of them will break away sooner or later.

[Brett66]

No, I couldn't stomach a choice like that. I draw the line at someone like Powell, I'll either stay home or vote for a third party candidate. There really isn't a dimes worth of difference when we're talking about the likes of Powell.

[Fast 1975]

If its white people- could someone explain why lily-white states are electing Daschle, Baucus, Leahy, Jeffords, Wellstone, Feingold, Johnson, Biden ect?

[Johnny Shear]

He's right...There can be no argument. We can't exist with only 9% of the vote from Blacks. Bash him all you like but he's right.
