"Nominate Colin Powell for president," he told Hannity, explaining that such a move would finally shatter the illusion that the GOP doesn't care about minorities. "That's the magnitude of the gesture that will be necessary to make this work."

I say nominate Condi Rice or, perhaps a Guiliana/Rice ticket. Republicans should trump the rats by being the first to offer a black and female candidate.

Clearly the dumbest idea ever posted on FR. I'm serious.

Has the GOP been reduced to tokenism? White guys need not apply? Are we a nation of race voters, and we need to pander?

The political reality is the RATS could run a Klansman and the Pubbies could run a black-female-homosexual-Indian-unwed-single mom-against nuclear energy, and the non-white male crowd would still vote RAT better than 3-1. You would only serve to chase the straight-white-male vote from the Pubbies.

What happened to "wedge" issues?
