I've been told by some FReepers that Murrica is still too racist for a black President. I dunno, I view the world through the eyes of a New Yorker, so I'm not seeing all that racism.

Comments?

I know of more democrats who wouldn't vote for a black person. The Republicans I know would say "Whoo-Hoo" for Condi. I don't believe she is pro abortion.

This is NOT said as an attack on New York, I actually like the place, but what New Yorkers think is meaningless west of the Hudson.

There are parts of the deep south, the more western border states, and some of the Midwest, that I don't believe are ready to vote for a black female to be President. I'm not supporting this position just reporting it. You see it in the small towns, and must keep in mind that many newer Republicans were racist democrats 20 years ago. They don't talk about it as much as they once did, but they will not vote for Secretary Rice when the time comes.

Only in a race against Clinton, might we get them out. If Romney, a Mormon, is also on the ticket, there is no way we will carry all the southern states.

Murrica? No, not in my opinion. She'd carry PA and MI and WI and MN to offset any losses due to racists in the red states. Louisiana, though? Definitely.
