...doing so than mere appearance. Bush is devoted to creating a diverse Administration because he has pledged to change the face of the Republican Party. Having reached out to minorities during his campaign, Bush hopes to continue doing so with high-profile appointments to his Administration. Powell and Rice would be the two most highly placed African Americans ever in an Administration. Hispanic Congressman Henry Bonilla and Texas railroad commissioner Tony Garza are close to Bush and are under consideration for positions.

Yet even some of Bush's strongest black opponents, such as Chicago Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., say they expect just the opposite from George W. Appointing Powell and Rice, they say, would be a way for Bush to court the group that spurned him most. "I've heard Republican strategists like Newt Gingrich argue that if they could just get 15% of the black vote, they would be in power for a millennium," says Jackson, who at 35 is showing signs of being as wily...
