True, but not for either of the ones we are discussing over Obama. I see no black Republican VP candidate who will bring in more votes for the Republicans than Obama will for the Dems.

Again, true, but how many black voters will not consider a Republican candidate for their vote, while the Latinos are less wedded to party affiliation, and are now the larger minority group with more votes. The Democratic candidate will normally get 80% of the black vote, and the Hispanics are much closer to splitting evenly. Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004 were won by a very few votes.
Powell is a RINO, alienates conservatives, and does nothing to bring in votes that McCain does not already have.
Bloomberg is worse than RINO, his social policies are hardcore liberal and would lose even more conservative voters.
Just my .02.
