We never said Powell and Rice aren't qualified. Some of us may feel as though they will be the token minorities Bush parades for us to see as though he has met his "inclusive" quota.
I, for one, do not feel as though my vote is ever taken for granted by democrats because I'm a split ticket voter. I vote for the person who I feel is most qualified for the job, but their agenda/platform can't be overlooked. It just so happens that blacks and democrats agendas are more alike than not.
Yes, things do change, but most blacks voted republican in the past because it was the "party of Lincoln". But that is another thread entirely...
