Thank you, ma'am. But I must express my dissent.

Innis states, "After 2002 is over and [presidential adviser] Karl Rove gets a chance to exhale, Republicans are going to seriously look to get vehicles for their message/ And the best vehicles are candidates." Yes AND no.

Of course you want a vivrant, articulate, tough-minded candidate who appears to be genuinely concerned about constituents. But we fall into the mental trap set by the Left when we automatically assume that a candidate must be black for black voters to accept him or her. This is nothing more than another form of identity politics. We lose that game.

I swear, I could write a book on this subject.

See my post to myself above. You are saying exactly what Niger describes in the paragraphs I quoted. You are speaking and thinking exactly like a Republican. lol.

Please do. I'd be interested in reading what you have to say.
