I think for a person of color to be elected in the first place they would have to view issues from a any person point of view and review policies and procedures from a practical and effective point of view and leave color on the side of the road...I got news for you...a woman will be elected before a black man would be...two men of color that could win now.....Colin Powell and Obama. Powell won't run and Obama is two senate terms away, at least that is how his handlers are trying to take him, he might feel froggy in 2012, but most feel 2016 would be his time. Hillary is going to be the next president for better or worse. Women are going to turn out in droves...it is speculated that we could have the largest ever voter turn out in 08 if the Iraq war has not ebbed.
