Condi won't rule out a run for the White House.

I'll bet that the next black Senator will be a Republican.  Look for Lt Gov Steele to run for Senate in MD, and win. 

I don't know where opebo gets his info, but this is one white Southerner who has no problem voting for a black candidate to any offce whatsoever--provided he/she is conservative.

I don't see black Democrat candidates winning Presidential primaries either, not since 1988 at least.  You guys had 2 black candidates in '04 and you avoided them in droves.  Does that make all Democrats racists?

Braun was a former Senator from the very same state as Obama.  Why was she regarded as a non-candidate?  Why would she lose the General if all good Democrats were to vote for her?  Are you saying that Democrats would vote against Braun in a General election because she is black?
