NO SERIOUS BLACK GOP CANDIDATES
Points generally well made, with one factual error. The NAACP was NOT the sponsor of the debate in question.
It was held at Morgan State University in Maryland, an historically black institution, and hosted by PBS personality Tavis Smiley.
The value of at least showing up at such a debate does not lie in the slim chance of converting black voters. Republicans also need to reach out to a large number of WHITE Republicans who are uncomfortable with the idea of belonging to a party that completely disregards those who are not white.

TIME FOR McCAIN TO LANCE THE HAGEE BOIL
Pastor Hagee actively campaigned for Gov. Bush and marshaled support from other conservative Christian leaders during Bush's presidential primary run. This was much more substantial support than the mere endorsement Hagee bestowed on Sen. McCain.
When Hagee leads his pro-Israel rallies to D.C., he always receives a warm greeting and glowing praise appreciation from Pres. Bush. The President has never distanced himself from any of Pastor Hagee's views.
I agree that McCain's damage control statement regarding Hagee was way too weak. But when you speak of "national leaders" leading the fight against bigotry and hate," what grade should we give Mr. Bush?
