Look, let's not mince words about how hilariously ASB OTL Obama is. If Seven of Nine doesn't air out her ex-hubbie, if Mike Ditka decides being a senator might be cool......etc. Its absurd.
THAT SAID, there was indeed a sort of informal race to the White House among ambitious, charismatic black politicians with national aspirations. Kamala Harris is in the catbird seat for California senator right now. Corey Booker, Deval Patrick - hell I'll even be charitable and toss in a ATL democrat version of Michael Steele - one of these brothas n sistas would eventually see the right election coming up and go for it. And once they passed the hurdle of proving they can win white votes in Iowa, the black electorate would go "holy shit this is really happening" and........ well Bernie Sanders is sure as hell finding out about the power of the black vote in a Democratic primary, ain't he?
