I'd vote for a qualified black man. No qualms whatsoever, and I'm "generic Ohio white guy". Hell, 15 years ago, everyone woulda voted for Bill Cosby!*
Today, I'd settle for David Palmer from 24... as long as he doesn't show up as Pedro Cerrano some workdays. This is not a society that offers chicken sacrifices...
*Not to jack my own thread, but I've always felt for Cosby. A lot of folks see him as a bit of a racist nowadays, his own doing, really. Nonetheless, I always enjoyed his bits as a kid, and recognized the value of his show in the 80's. Hearing all the stories about Ennis (his son) on the old records made me feel really f'in bad for the guy when his kid was murdered. I can't imagine how that feels, especially to a guy whose whole career has been making families laugh. Well, not including "Leonard, Part 6".
(Another side note, I've sadly been watching "Celebrity Mole", and this post may be a direct response to seeing Corbin Bernsen (Major League) and Rudy from Cosby Show last night. Maybe.)
