Minorities for President

I'd like Richardson if he were a Republican.

I like Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice, but I don't think either one of them would ever run.

Harold Ford may be one of the better minority prospects, but I don't know that much about him, other than that he seems to have maybe too good a talent for self promotion.

I have heard good things about Obama Baraka, but I know relatively little about him other than that he is running for Senator from Illinois.  He is half white and half African (as opposed to African-American), so he doesn't quite fit the "minority" mold, but I guess he would pass under the "one drop" rule that many people have unfortunately adopted from the old southern bigots.

I absolutely loathe Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and most of the members of the Congressional black caucus.

Obama Baraka

Barack Obama

I was going from memory, so I guessed I messed up!  Not a name you run across every day.
