. At this time, I would be very surprised if Bush cracks 15% of the black vote in 2004. He will come close to twenty percent if Condi Rice is his running mate.

Chris, what is wrong with the job Dick Cheney's doing. Until he says he's not running, he's the VP candidate. Amateur cardiologists notwithstanding.

Absolutly nothing! Big Time is a stand up guy. I'm thinking strategically. How do you force Democrats to protect their base vote while at the same time attracting swing voters. AND how do you set the Party up to be an agent of change in 2008, when the American people are going to feel like electing a Democrat?

You have to offer something different. However, it also helps that if you're offering something different, it's something of high quality, as well. And Condi is nothing if not high quality, and she matches Hillary's attraction with female voters. The liberals would be counting on a gender gap in 2008 to counter Hillary's weakness among white men. They'll also be counting on her to keep a lock on black voters and hispanic females, while doing a respectable job among hispanic men.

Rice upsets that applecart, and makes it impossible for Hillary to win.

Be Seeing You,

Chris
