THen how do we win this damn thing? There are no more 1950s white people around. Race is our national obsession.Before you get smashed and accused of racism, while I feel you didn't say things correctly, your ideas are somewhat right. I don't think we should play "throw me a cookie" politics like the Dems did to get Obama elected. Propping up a minority or a woman just for the sake of doing so doesn't do anything.
