In answer to Jason, alot of people will be dissatisfied not just black people. The non-black voters that chose Obama in Iowa, New Hampshire, Kansas not to mention the 43% of the non-black vote Obama got in GA as well as numerous other states will not be happy at all. There is an insidious and dangerous form of rascism permeating your comment and the mainstream media assertions that Obamas support emanates from his "core" base aka black. Obama disproved that theory long ago when he was elected Senator from Illinois. Its time you and others embraced or at least understand the dynamic of whats going on here. This man is a trancendental and transformational politician. Heretofore an oxymoron if there ever was one. One other thing - your throwing Condeleeza Rice into the mix is another example of abject ignorance or rascism, you decide. Unfortunately, in my opinion as I have alot of respect and admiration for Ms. Rice, she is overwhelmingly disliked in the black community. So adding her to a ticket would net the Republicans nothing. Next time you reach, reach for a more obvioius safe choice like Colin Powell or why not Charles Barkley, hes black and I believe Republican. According to your premise Barkley would go over well with the black audience you speak of.
