maybe he's the right guy for the job

so, why is it bad for the Repubs to pick a guy because he's black but it's not bad for the dems to do the same thing with an arguably higher office?

"the dems" did not pick barack obama

"the american people" did. and if you recall, "the dems" were decidedly AGAINST B.O. in favor of their gal, Hillary, until it became glaringly apparent she was getting her ass handed to her.

OTOH, the choice of RNC is *DEFINITELY* a party pick, decided by the upper echelon of party members.

you know this guy was picked in response to the embarrassment of having their previously favored candidate caught promoting "Barack the Magic Negro" as part of his campaign.

it's damage control. that's it and that's all, man.

I agree that race is partially a factor, but then again, given how badly gutted the RNC leadership pipeline is, just about anyone could become chairman of the party at this point.
