The posts that bluntly state that the candidate must be this or that make this or that the primary qualification. This or that doesn't qualify anyone for almost everything, because EVERYONE is this or that. Being an old, white, married, hetero male is no more qualifying than being a young, minority, single, gay female.

I am voting for a candidate that is qualified to do the job not for someone who is this or that.
