If she were white, Asian or Latino would make no difference to me.
It's rare smart people get elected to office. The lowest common denominator is the rule. In this instance her race might conceal the fact that she's smart from voters who are more comfortable with dimbulbs. In other words, were she elected - America would get lucky.
I can predict an Obama/Clinton Presidency to the minutiae. A McCain Presidency is almost as equally predictable - he will sell out on most key conservative issues. The only silver lining would be having Rice, and her conservative pro-America mind, in the circle of power.
The Founding Fathers did not leave the important decisions to the rank and file colonists. They set up a Republic so that the brighter folks could keep the lowest common denominator from dominating.
