Gore Vidal once wrote that the person who wins the presidency is the one who a) spends the most money; and b) makes the most subtle and effective racist appeal to voters.
Sadly, Bush wims in both categories. Kerry, targeting swing voters will actually have to appear more racist than Bush to counteract the impression that he is a liberal Negro lover. If he only had the guts to name a black man as running mate.
