We desperately need a Black Leader for President 2008!

Black, white, yellow, male, female, etc doesn't really matter. What we need is someone that actually listens to the people.

I like the way Dyson thinks, he is also a very dynamic speaker, and is definatley real and easy to associate with. I doubt it matters, but I'm white and would strongly consider him if he were picked up as a candidate.

I think that first and foremost a woman needs to be President. My vote is for Hillary. Perhaps she could have a black vice-president. My vote would be for Colin Powell, but he says he doesn't want to run.

I could support a Clinton/Biden ticket in '08. The Presidency needs some diversity. But, I have to admit doesn't matter who the people pick, it'll be BI as usual. It cost too much for good men and women to run. Even if one runs and by the grace of God wins--he/she will be so deep into the pockets of special interest that it'll be just like Dubya, four years of favors at the expense of the people that put you in office.

Never heard of the man until you brought his name up; therefore I never would vote for him. Shaprton and Jackson are unqualified in my eyes, Colin Powell says he would not run so that leaves on Condi Rice, I think she would make a good President.

Until our "system" is revamped, and corruption ousted on ALL levels,
then it won't matter who's elected President, or what ethnic persuasion
they happen to be; their hands will continue to be tied by private/corporate interests and/or agendas.
