But I guess the republican will learn out of their defeat, that they have to be more forthcoming towards minorities, if not... well then they are digging their own graves.
Yeah, they're starting to learn, but it's going to be a rough road. I mean, they tolerated so much blatent racism in regards to Obama then, they try to prove they aren't racist with token black candidate Herman Cain (who, honestly, is more of an insult to black people than having no black candidates).
For now, Marco Rubio can be a HUGE help for them; he's an intelligent hispanic man and he certainly isn't just a token hispanic guy, either. Honestly, I think either Rubio or Condileza Rice running would be the best for the Republican party, since both of them are intelligent, accomplished racial minorities (Condi is a woman, too, which has been another of their problem areas).
Still, those are the intelligent, rational ideas I would have for the Republican party and lately, they haven't been especially rational.
