Beach is Canadian and cannot seek the Presidency. Sherman Alexie is political as far as round ball is concerned. And Wilma Mankiller both is too old and does not possess the most euphonious name for such candidacy.

Are you going to nominate Sonny Landham?<BR/>All Best<BR/>Russ Bates<BR/>'writerfella'writerfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00111681906238053379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-20277357829971901202008-07-22T18:09:00.000-07:002008-07-22T18:09:00.000-07:00You have a somewhat valid point.

Cosby fit Blacks because they had lost their tribal separations.
