Surprise, Surprise

"Commander in Chief" sucks.

In the real world, the Democrats will never elect a female or black presidential candidate. Why? Because neither gets Democrats any votes. Married women (who tend Republican) will not vote for a radical feminist (the only female candidate to survive a Democrat primary) and Democrats already get 90 percent plus of the black vote. Dems need more white males, and they're not likely to vote identity politics for a different race or gender.

Republicans, on the other hand, stand to gain a lot from a female or a black presidential candidate. While the evangelical community might not support a woman as president, they would likely be highly supportive of the first African-American C-in-C. Regardless of what the Dems say now about Southern whites, they aren't going to jump ship if Condi Rice is the GOP nominee when the alternative is a pasty white effete Yankee like John Francoise Kerry.

You can bet the farm on one thing---the first female or black President will be a Republican.
