Then he gets in office and is no better than any of the other black people in government office. We shouldnt elect people based on race because when it all comes down to it they are all political figures and that gives them more in common than being of a certain race does. Him being black doesnt make him any more like you or me than a white dude up there. Right now I'm leaning towards hillary, she ran our country last time while her man got blown (but not inhaled) by a fat intern. Shes a strong person and knows how our government works. Dont just do shit because you're black and feel obligated... we already tried that shit with oj... doesnt work.

The whole purpose of the 35 percenters is to get Kucinich's name out there since, ahem, only 35% of people have even heard of him. LOL
