Just last week a Republican legislator Virginia proclaimed that blacks should just “get over slavery”, refusing to apologize for the state’s long history as a slave state. Many of the Republican-led southern states clung to the emotional issue of keeping the Confederate flag flying at their statehouses. That perspective is what keeps the GOP from making inroads with minorities.

I alöready said I believe she wouldn’t be a bad president. But it’s a long and winding road to get back into the White House. It’s much too early to speculate. Remember when Dean was the front runner and new favorite? Didn’t really help him.

The Democrats have 90% support of the African-American community because they give lip service to things like Affirmative-Action, minority set aside contracts, and quotas on college admission, public sector hiring, and public school programs. The Democrats have routinely criticized anyone who challenges such government mandated diversity by calling them racist.

Yet, when the families, children, or personal success of such Democrats as Senator Clinton is involved, she gets to totally ignore the idea of diversity and send her children to elite, all white private schools, live in an elite, all white private neighborhood, and fill her staff with elite, Ivy league educated, whites.

I see it as a failure of personal leadership. Either shut up about diversity or make a “true” commitment to diversity by asking your own family to experience the full effect of government mandated raced based programs.

On the other hand, I’m quite race-neutral: I don’t care whether one is black, yellow, red, white or whatever… I care about whether or not they’re good at what they do.

Former VP Gore is damaged goods, has horrible political instincts, and is not media savy. He is second generations Washington, DC establish, prep school product and he never lets you forget that he is.

Senator Obama is nothing more than Dick Durbin in (partial) black face. Since I do not consider Dick Durbin a potential president, I do not understand why everyone is so excited about Senator Obama.

On the other hand, Senator Clinton probably has more enemies in DC than anyone else. She burned many bridges when she was the first lady. There was an article in yesterday’s Washington Post about her inner circle of advisors. She definitely fails in the diversity department. Most of her advisors are rich, elite, Ivy league types with a large number of Jews but no Hispanics or Asians. The lone black person’s job is to generate support in the black community.

It would be nice is a single politician demonstrated the least bit of personal leadership instead of the “do as I say, not as I do” leadership that dominates Washington, DC.

Losing = not becoming President in this situation.

He did not become President.

Hence, he lost.

I call bullshit! He won by about half a million votes. But those supreme activist judges robbed him of the presidency.

But, I agree.
