Melting Pot

Talking about 2008 seems a little early to me, what with the war and all, but if you look at the difference in the parties and who is running it's amazing that any minority would support the Republicans.

All of their candidates are white, rich men.

Meanwhile, we have a woman, a black and a Latino. We also have a plethora of rich, white men but the field running for President is much more representative of the United States. We had a woman on the ticket in 1984. A Jew in 2000. An openly gay man in the House. The Republicans may try to represent themselves as a big tent party but the non-white members are only there to hold up the poles and look good on TV.

Although, if the war continues to go the way it's going and we're still mired in Iraq in 2008 it won't matter who we run. We will win.
