Dream on...

The first thing to realize is that many of the southern voters who voted for Bush were perfectly happy to vote for black politicians whether Republican of Democrat. A look at the actual pluralities for both black and white southern politicians in the red states should have instructed all but the most willfully ignorant commenters above.

And, as the only Big Tent party now in existence, it is natural for the Republicans to disagree on several of the issues. The only ideologues left are the Lefties. Even Howeling Howard was trying to make that point in his last speech, though apparently only the Republicans were listening.

My bet is a McCain/Condi ticket will crush a Hillary/Obama ticket out of the gate...
