Seriously, running Keys may be political genius. At a stroke you would remove one of the democrats favorite weapons – demagoguing race. How stupid would Brazil's "white boy" remark look? They couldn't automatically take the black vote for granted anymore and would have to spend political capital to win it, potentially alienating other groups.

The press would be taken totally off guard. They'd have to throw out all their templates and might even be shocked into covering real issues. Would they dare criticize an African American's personality?

Al Gore v. Allan Keys may just be the dream race.
