JC Watts would be an ideal candidate to offset the Dems hold on the black vote...

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.

Even though the Hispanics are a larger minority; they lack the "political" power that the blacks have....
Stay safe.
