If you are a person of color, attractive and gifted at delivering a speech someone has probably written for you, it is a good time to be running for public office. Bonafides not necessary.

The media along with these unqualified youngsters' political parties keep throwing them at us, and we are stupid enough to vote for them. Mediocre San Antonio mayor for Gov? Give me a break. A young attorney with Bush family name for anything other than a city council seat...hell no.

Lord save us from ourselves.

I'm not sure how I feel about someone who's opportunist enough to start raising money for public office before they even know what they want to run for.
