6. A great way to loose 50 states. I don't want to burst your bubble
but this is still an America where in at least 35 states open discrimination against blacks is not only accepted but the norm. Look, some of you people think things like color and gender don't matter in politics, I am here to tell you it not only does it is key. Looking around this country can you name a single state where a woman or anyone not white, could win the majority of votes of all citizens for pres? I can't think of single one. We would easily loose the midwest, southwest, south which leaves us with the task of trying to win in the northeast and California. We loose will California in 2008 because Arnold will have in place a repug sec of state and a completely repug election board along with the voting machines. You would have no chance in N.J., N.H, that I know the rest you might have a chance but I doubt it. If we don't accept the limits of thinking for the "voters" and the reality of their bigotry, well it's all over before it even gets started.
