all facts!

A few flaws in that logic...Black folk generally see no real reason to vote for President, two old and rich white guys...not much difference! Remember the year Jesse actually mounted a serious campaign? Turnout was quite different!
You nominate a black woman and I guarantee a significantly larger inner city turnout! Now if she goes against Hillary...it will be interesting to see the breakdown there among inner city and poor voters! I think it would be wonderful if those two squared off...the issue of a woman President would be moot...quite an interesting situation!

They would probably turnout to vote against Condi. She's Aunt Toni.

Actually, if you watch Condy and read about her, she's far from that! She won't forget that she is a black woman!

I wasn't trying to hurt anyone's feelings
just history tells us it's has always been two old white men
in fact, all WASPs, no Jews, and only one Roman Catholic
there's a line in the film with Joan Allen ("The Contender"?)
we won't elect a women President, "beause you don't want
a woman with her finger on the button who isn't getting laid."

Well the last two men...one didn't know the difference between a cigar and a dil-do, and the other is a dil-do so....
