Besides Rice and Powell, what minority candidates does the Republican party have to offer in 2008? Why/why not?

With the lack of REAL answers I take it there is no viable GOP minority candidate?

Republicans DON'T have a viable minority candidate right now. The cloesest they can get to that is a someone of Italian descent, Rudolph Guiliani... If the republicans were smart, they'd talk Chuck Hagel into running.

Why are liberals trying to run the '08 election on the race/gender card. Probably because they do not have a QUALIFIED candidate.
Obama is in-experienced and under-qualified. Do you really want someone like that running the Nation?
Hillary had to move to NY to get in to the senate. What happened to Illinois, where she was from, or Arkansas, where she lived with her husband? Maybe they already had her number. Has everyone forgotten HER trail of scandal? The last Clinton White house was do-nothing and credit taking. Do we really want that again?
The Clinton's could have Bin Laden, but elected to do nothing. The Clinton administration gave the North Koreans nuclear technology. Clinton took credit for the prosperity handed to him from the first President Bush. They took credit for the so called 'balanced budget' that Billy had no more to to with, other than being there.
Rudy may be white and male, but at least he has executive experience, and a record of hard work and integrity. Isn't being QUALIFIED more important.
Rice is 5x as qualified as Hillary and Obama combined. If she were to run, I would support her because she is QUALIFIED, not because she is Black or Female.
Powell would make a great president, but he has no intention of running.
WAKE UP AMERICA !!
