But I agree, a wider net would help. How about Dell Gines?

Graves Sr. and Singletary are politically on the left despite their fiscal conservatism. I'll pick them over any of The Usual Suspects any day of week, though. Loury renounced conservatism. I'd group him with the centrists. Reeves I'll gladly accept as a suggested right-wing panelist. Excellent choice. Personal nitpicking aside, I stand firm by my list of panelist suggestions from a broad spectrum of conservative and libertarian black voices. I believe they'll show up for a civil dialogue if invited to next year's SOTBU. Your opinion is noted.

Casey Lartigue -- Not impressed by him at all. Tony Brown -- Good choice. He slams both sides. That's why the Republican party doesn't show case him although he is a Republican and has stated he is willing to help out. La Shawn Barber -- Doesn't do well on television. Niger Innis -- Not intereest in true discussion. Walter E. Williams -- Good choice. Shelby Steele -- Good choice. John McWhorter -- Lightweight, IMO. But good to have on. I think he would highlight the use of ancedotes when convienent to his point. Stanley Crouch -- Decent choice. But if it comes to the mistakes of Republicans, look out. Herman Cain -- Just interested in throwing flames. I'd like to see: Earl Graves, Sr. Glenn Loury. Shannon Reeves. Michelle Singletary. I preface this with the idea that I would want to see a real exchange not a side show:

Larry Elder — No. Just interested in the show.

Casey Lartigue — Not impressed by him at all.

Tony Brown — Good choice. He slams both sides. That’s why the Republican party doesn’t show case him although he is a Republican and has stated he is willing to help out.

La Shawn Barber — Doesn’t do well on television.

Niger Innis — Not intereest in true discussion.

Walter E. Williams — Good choice.

Shelby Steele — Good choice.

John McWhorter — Lightweight, IMO. But good to have on. I think he would highlight the use of ancedotes when convienent to his point.

Stanley Crouch — Decent choice. But if it comes to the mistakes of Republicans, look out.

Herman Cain — Just interested in throwing flames.

I’d like to see:

Earl Graves, Sr.
Glenn Loury.
Shannon Reeves.
Michelle Singletary.
