The GOP kind of has that white male thing going anyway.

I'm a white middle-aged male myself, so i would not argue thet my demographic be excluded ;-). But it is important to put more of the grass-roots leaders out front.

Many of the more progressive members of the Congress are ethnic minorities or women. John Conyers and Jan Schiakovsky and Barbara Lee and Jessie Jackson Jr. among others.They -- along with us middle aged white guys -- need to be equally representative of the Democratic Party as the party of diversity.

(I'd also add that (aside from his flaky New Age rhetoric), Kucinich is more representative of the real concerns of working-class white guys, than the upper class suits are.)
