stand up to Rice and to challenge the electoral votes from Ohio? And why did the BCC stand alone in 2000 against the travesty that was Florida?
Is there something about womens' or African Americans' status as outsiders that make them more willing to stand up? Perhaps they feel that they have zero hope of fitting in in any way with this regime, so they're more willing to rock the boat. The white males may feel that they "belong" somehow .
But they would seem to have to work harder to prove themselves. Kinda like the short guy in the bar that can fight twice as hard as the big guy, ya know?
it seems more fitting that way. But Boxer did a great job. good for her
The CBC (or BCC?) stood alone because they felt black people were disenfranchised. People have a natural tendency to stand up for their own people. It would have been nice for Wellstone, Kerry, or even Holy Joementum himself to stand up in 2000 but they all knew it was futile. And perhaps they didn't expect Bush to be such an asshole.
