That's the problem...politicians underestimate the public! I agree that bigotry and racism still exist...and they permeate large segments of the population. The south is an easy target...but here in central Pa we still have a large KKK representation and frankly, subtle racism/sexism exists everywhere. The only way to fight it is to bring it into the light...and you don't do that by being too cowardly as a political party to challenge the sterotypes...nominate a black and/or woman candidate and give the public the opportunity to surprise those who say it can't be done!
