You want to recycle some of the white candidates for the Democratic
Presidential nomination?  Weren't they bad enough the first time around?

OT: If you don't like "vicious circle" or "vicious cycle", you can go
with the technical term "positive feedback loop".  A cycle is something
that comes around again, so "vicious cycle" makes sense.
