258. Bullshit

When a state only has 3000 blacks to begin with (including children and the elderly) it's going to be virtually impossible to find a black person who is qualified, wants to leave their current job for a 2 year position, and who Dean even knows.

It seems that you're implying that Dean should have brought in someone from outside of Vermont to appoint to one of the 6 cabinet positions? Sorry, but state politics are about the state, and it's not appropriate to bring out of staters in to fill those positions. That would be like the Mayor of Oakland appointing me to oversee minority issues. :eyes:
