Majority Rule in the WSJ

James Taranto asks, re the potential

Sunni boycott of the Iraq elections, 

 “Would an Afrikaner
boycott make a South African election "illegitimate"?.”
The answer is no, of course, because no one in North
America

cares much about the rights –or concerns – of the

beleaguered Afrikaners.

But his response, that the
majority is the majority, should be noted by

GOP strategists, who repeatedly insist that
Republican victories

don`t really count, unless they increase their

black and

Hispanic votes.

Or does an  American majority
somehow not count?
