Perhaps. Maybe even bring John Kerry back for a second round. Who knows? As it happens, they managed to get it done using a man who had effectively no record, no experience, and no talents in regards to politics apart from his ability to speak at length without saying anything truly meaningful.
If nothing else, it was a neat trick. I don't think a white guy named Barry Dunham could've done it.
probably not. Could a WASP male Gerard Ferraro have been Walter Mondale's running mate in 1984?  . Or a Sam Palin have been McCain's in 08? Or perhaps a white Colin Powell or Condi Rice have been quite as publicized as potential candidates, etc? I like and respect all of these people very much, but it's true (and in Ferraro's case, admitted) that their minority majority status helped their national recognition; who ever wouldve heard of a certain governor by the name of Jim McGreevy had it not been for...well you know the rest
