I would definitely like to see more black Republicans elected (as well as more white Democrats, especially in heavily black areas), but candidates like Michael Steele and Ken Blackwell aren't going to cut it since they offer little rationale for voting for themselves other than their race.
Not that I'm claiming that black Democratic candidates are usually any better, but it's still something to consider.
Micheal Steele pretty much made his run for office about offering something new in Washington. Also Steele is pretty moderate if you look at his record.
