election preview
I don't know, guys. I'm no future White House correspondent. But I can't help thinking that it's going to come down to Hillary & Obama (or Obama & Hillary) vs. Giuliani and Condi Rice. Black and female vs. White and black female. History vs. history. And that's a showdown that scares me, no matter how much Bush has managed to alienate my fellow Americans. I like to recall the days when Giuliani was the guy Wyclef sang about as "the beast"--who "cleaned up" NYC by issuing poorly trained, inexperienced cops with rapid-fire weapons.... Sounds like just the guy to appeal to America's frightened heartland, even if he does come from the big city.

Well... do you think Condi would really join the race? If she does, it would be scary b/c it would even things up and remove the race/gender advantage the Dems could have.
But by the same token, a lot of red-neck country will not vote black/woman. So maybe they'll stay home!
But then... if Giuliani is P and Condi is VP, they may be able to stomach it and feel they are voting for Giuliani instead.
I know, a lot of "but then"s in this comment :)
