I’ve heard talk that the GOP will be under pressure to have a “diverse” ticket.

Under pressure from whom? Under pressures from liberals and the media, assuming that the Democrats have a woman and/or a minority on their ticket. There’s been talk of HIllary Clinton picking Castro, the HUD Secretary as VP.

In that case, the media will have a mediagasm about the diversity of the Democrat ticket, and contrast that if the GOP has two white men on their ticket.

Not that I am saying the GOP needs to give in to media and liberal demands for diversity. Just saying the issue will come up, if the Democrats have a woman and/or minority member as their ticket.

Now, there are numerous quality minority and women Republicans who could be on the ticket. Gov. Martinez of New Mexico, former Congressman Alan West, just to name two.

I guess, then, that there is NO "diversity" in Japan, for example, since all the law makers, governors, police, writers, instructors...everyone, is JAPANESE.

THAT tired old cliche about diversity applied to COLOR of skin only, NOT to diversity of thought. It was the ANTITHESIS of whats MLK stived for.

I WISH someone would drive that home to the BRAINLESS of this campaign. Having a VP based on color is as RACIST as it gets.
