Assume she is gay. The Left will end up supporting her more than the Right. Bush could be dumb like a fox.
I think that a simple, plain straight-forward nomination of Tom Delay (to get him out of the House where I hear he bothers some Democrats) would have been so much simpler.
If it's a trainwreck, it's only because conservatives caused it by jumping on every baseless allegation the left throws out.
We have a non-partisan mayoral race in Kansas City. I helped a candidate who was a black democrat for good and valid reasons. You would not have believed the hand wringing and the isn't-there-anyone-else emoting that the active Democrat politicos carried on with.
The idea of "Content of Our Character" ethnic/religous blindness is foriegn to the dems.
