Feel free to call the Sanitarium if I ever go THAT soft in the head and vote for the black guy over the best guy, especially if the two aren't one and the same.
If I want to help a black guy win the White House, he'd better sound a lot like me, or like Michael Steele of MD. J.C. Watts, if properly quoted, has disappointed me.

From the article itself:
J.C. Watts, a former Oklahoma congressman who once was part of the GOP House leadership, said he's thinking of voting for Obama. Watts said he's still a Republican, but he criticizes his party for neglecting the black community. Black Republicans, he said, have to concede that while they might not agree with Democrats on issues, at least that party reaches out to them.
"And Obama highlights that even more," Watts said, adding that he expects Obama to take on issues such as poverty and urban policy. "Republicans often seem indifferent to those things."

O_o What a shame. So instead of being patient and waiting for the RIGHT black candidate, he's going to sacrifice some of his ideals to get a black guy in office?
I'm intrigued with the idea of a woman as POTUS, but certainly not sHrillary.

He was elected to a federal office. That counts for something. Additionally, had he chosen to stay in office, he would have a significant amount of experience by now.

He is the one he's waiting for. No sympathy.
