I think the Sarah Palin pick further prveos your point. I know that being a woman isn't the same as being black, but I think the white establishment views anyone that isn't them, the ruling class Protestant white male that Bill O'Reilly describes himself and John McCain as being, sees us all the same. Or at least they think that each group gets together and decides collectively how to vote.And that is in part how they drew Sarah Palin's name out of a hat. They thought the disgruntled Hillary voters, many of whom were black, would get all ga-ga about Sarah because she has a vagina. Instead, they gave Obama the biggest gift of all. Rather than luring my friends who had their feelings hurt over Hillary's lose, they fired them up behind our guy. Also, do these people not know that Donna Brazile, one of the most powerful political forces in America, worked for Hillary? Donna is a black woman. If she were supporting candidates based upon their race and gender, she wouldn't have even been working for Barack. She would have been working for the Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinny, a black woman.I love your examples of Alan Keyes and Lynn Swann. I'll go one further. It's too bad McCain couldn't nominate two veeps. I would love to see how wound up black Americans would be if Condi on the ticket. I'm not black, so I don't want to suggest that I have been pigeon-holed as a woman in the same way that you have been up the media and the Right. But, they do often incorrectly think that we can be smitten by a candidate just because she has a vag.
