Caucasian is not going to be the majority forever. If whites only elect whites, what'd be the expected result when caucasian is a minority? Wouldn't it be good to elect a minority ASAP, if there's a good choice, rather than wait 'til it's inevitable?
Isn't it likely whites could keep good standing in society by not clinging to power?
If you believe in Barack Obama, wouldn't it be better to elect him in '08 than to wait 'til he gets more experience? What experience does he need? Experience in the corrosive culture of Washington?
How did that experience help John Kerry as a candidate? Regardless of how you felt about Kerry, wasn't he more charismatic, more convincing in his beliefs about how to change D.C., before spending decades getting accustomed to the practices he wanted to change? Ever seen Kerry's speech on the Senate floor about $100 pens?
How does the '80s Kerry compare with the '04 Kerry? Better or worse? Any reason it would be different with Obama?
