Alright, I know that I'm probably phrasing this oddly so I apologize for any confusion. While Jesse Jackson never really had a chance to actually win the Presidency, he, arguably, was the first African American to mount a halfway credible campaign for the Presidency. So basically my question is if there is any way to have some other African American seek the Democratic nomination in 1984 and/or 1988. Note, I'm not saying that said candidate should win either the nomination or the election. However, the candidate should do at least as well as Jackson himself did in the primaries.

So who might this imaginary candidate be?
