Really?
I want to start with how badly I wish that statement were true. Earlier you used a term that people on both sides of the aisle throw out inappropriately to describe behaviors called racist”hate”.Sure there are those for whom this may be true but I believe in most situations it’s something else-fear or being uncomfortable with differences, fear of the unknown other.If Michael Steele or Condoleeza Rice were to run,under the scutiny that we put the lives of presidential candidates, especially the scrutiny that their opponents would use something would be found that would drag the race issue into it and exploit it, They were both young at some point and they both grew up here.Even if the facts used are distorted, which they probably will be, once the race can is opened it won’t close. Unfortunately there are still large sections of the american population who are uncomfortable with the idea of a black president. You and I could drive places where this is true. I hear about how liberal chicago is but there are communities in chicago that if I were visit I would be(and have been chased out). Race I agree should not be a factor in selecting a leader but let’s not be naive in suggesting it is never a factor in rejecting one.

Uhm.. Aren’t BOTH parties of the rich and the elite?

MTV hasn’t succeeded in anything remotely political since there used to be actual music videos for hours straight. If I had been of age when Billy Idol and Madonna told me to go vote..I woulda!

And never use ‘taco’ in vain again, Mister! Or I shall smite you.
