Oh, there was all sorts of talking head chatter about that during the recount. The economy clearly was going in the tank and the theory was that whoever was elected in 2000 would never be able to win re-election and would lead the party to disaster in 2002. So much for the supposed sagacity of the talking heads!

Btw, I find your page interesting. You obviously are a scholar on Black Republican history, a very neglected field.

Btw, that crack about my being strange? Thanks, I take that as a compliment, too many mooing cows in the world.

Fortunately we didn't nominate the muscleman for President, otherwise they might've been right. ;-)

Thank you. I was rather shocked recently when I was doing a googlesearch for more info on a 19th Century African-American pol, and lo and behold, my own FReeper page was listed. I apparently have the most comprehensive list of Black GOP elected officials and candidates on the internet just on that one page. Perhaps if it helps some liberal journalist out there when doing research for one of their articles that they realize there are more Black Republicans other than J.C. Watts, all the better. Getting and electing more non-Caucasian Republicans is a strong interest of mine. I only mentioned it once in this thread I believe, but Ah-nold's comments on Black Africans being incapable of running their own countries was very disturbing to me, and that won't do well to make an appeal to African-Americans in California. It's not "Black Africans" that are incapable of running "their own" countries, it's some truly evil individuals that have managed to seize control of many African states after the not-so-good colonial rule (where civil rights for Black Africans was non-existent). We should know that evil totalitarians come in all creeds and colors and we should endeavor to expose and defeat them.

Ah. Say, can you tell how many posts I made in this thread tonight ? I swear I must've made 200 of 'em. :-P
