In a state that is 96.2% white of non-hispanic origin (only 0.5% black), this is kind of a non-issue. Then again, Dean does get a free pass on guns because his state is basically homicide-free, with a strong hunting tradition, so him getting heat on this issue is fair game.
I have no doubt that he'd follow in Bush and Clinton's slightly patronizing path of making sure that at least one member of the Cabinet is black.
