I should have been more clear - Repubs and conservatives don't pander to
race, in general. We tend to care more about ideas than appearance. Hence Condaleeza won't get the nod soon because she hasn't performed exceptionally at State. Doesn't matter that she's a black woman and that would help the ticket, just like it doesn't matter that Justice Thomas is a black man and he's well-loved and -respected by conservatives.
Now, as to what McCain will do, hard to say, as he is a rather poor Republican and conservative. He may push the pander button there.
