The two top "Black" celebrities in this country, IMO, are Tiger Woods and Will Smith. Either one could become the first Black President of the United States. They would run as ideological "Eagles" on the Republican ticket. Social Liberals and Economic Conservatives. Which I believe they are. [you don't use that nasty word, Libertarian. :>)]

When Tiger hits what I believe to be his goal, 100 PGA victories and 20 Majors, there is nothing left in the Sports world for him to do. He is 32 now, and will probably hit that goal in the next six years, making him 38. I don't see him going on winning tournaments that would be meaningless to him. His father raised him to shoot for the highest goal.

Tiger could then get active in Florida politics and run for Governor. A successful 8 year term would put in him line for the Presidential nomination at about age 50. Then an 8 year term in the oval office.

Will Smith will be 40 in September. He could follow the same path in California. They are both very smart men who people flock to. Neither one carries Arnold's baggage. I think of Woods as a Asian but the skin color is brown. His obstacle is his Swedish wife. If you don't think the left would go after him on this, remember how they treated Clarence Thomas's mixed marriage.

Both are electable.
