["Tomas L. Byrnes" <tomb () byrneit net>]

In a country of over 300 Million people, there will always be kooks and
immature idiots. The Country has been ready for a Black President for a
long time. Colin Powell would have won, had he run.

Voting FOR someone because of their race is as racist as voting against
them on that basis. We should vote based on suitability, experience, and
character. All of those require being tested. 

As for the protecting of the leaders from the people, well, the Caesars
needed the Praetorians for a reason.
