In real life, outside of government, before he was elected, not counting football, what were some of his high accomplishments?

I recall JC (I knew his full name) delivering a response to a Clinton SOTU speech. Outstanding job! He has good bona fides among fundagelical theocons as well.

Like it or not, one day we will have a black president. Perhaps not Collin Powell but someone of similar high accomplishmt like former congressman JC Watts. Having lived thru the ravages of the uncontrolled welfare state and seen first-hand the devestation it has done to the black family, such a man will drive the final stake thru the heart of liberalism Other interesting issues I'm tracking: Looks now as if Texas and Ohio might ea get the opp to be kingmakers in at least one party's nom process. We like to joke in Texas that we're an ATM stop for candidates who get donations and go spend them elsewhere! Anyone listen to Rush's take on the letter he got from Bob Dole? McCain is trying to spin the letter as some sort of Dole endorsemt, which per Dole it isnt. A Dole endorsemt? Harold Stassen wasnt available.

Yesterday it was supposedly neck and neck. Thirteen points is definitely a big enough margin to overcome the Bradley/Wilder effect, so if Zogby is right, he could win CA. But I'm still skeptical. And there's no way he'll be elected in he somehow is the nominee. Hillary may be too afraid to make ads about Obama's preacher and hero giving Farrakhan a Lifetime Achievement Award, but the GOP and its supporters will have no such qualms.

But the Bradley/Wilder effect means he's a certain loser even in those states where polls suggest he's slightly ahead of Clinton. Unless he has a huge lead, that lead is bound to evaporate in the voting booth. The number of white people who say they're going to vote for a black candidate is always higher than the number who actually do so. Like I said, Obama is not going to be POTUS, no matter how many times he clicks his heels and sings <i>Somewhere Over The Rainbow Coalition</i>. Yes, Clinton’s lead over Obama has narrowed.
