Wouldn't matter though, the democratic party would race bait, not matter who was on the ticket or what the circumstances are. Remember black republicans, aren't considered black (remember what happened in steele's campaign).

It would matter (a great deal!) even though you are correct to say they would do it anyway. Doing it doesn't mean you will be effective at it. A black man on the ticket will kill their slanderous charges in any fair thinking voter's mind.

After having seen oreo cookies thrown at Lt. Governor Steele, and not even a wink by the media, I am both disgusted and in doubt.

The thing is ? if the DEMS chose Obama, and then Fred picks a Black Republican, they will charge that we are just pandering, or tit for tat kind of thing going on.
Please don't misunderstand me, that would be a smart strategic move by Fred, but, the Dems and the MSM will say we are just pandering for picking a black running mate for Fred.
