With the way that the more moderate GOPers distanced themselves from Lott when all that mess hit the fan, I think this will actually happen in our lifetime.
And you know... part of me likes the idea of a lot of us buppies signing up to the GOP in droves and changing the party from the inside. The problem (okay,
one of the problems) with the African Americans that are currently in the GOP ranks is that there simply aren't enough of them to make an impact. If more of us were willing to go out on a limb and completely abandon the Democratic party and register as GOPers, I think people would stand up and take notice.
