4. Yes, as opposed to the Bush Hiring Practices Rule: Competence Last

3. I agree...

Or Barbara Boxer.

Of course, if he managed to get Al Gore, all bets are off.

11. Too early to tell...

It depends on how long the race goes and whether or not it would be seen as fence mending or placating/pandering.

12. He should choose based on competence, not gender, same as who we should choose who we vote for...

I thought of voting for your last choice, but I was totally blindsided by 2004, so learned that we can afford to take nothing for granted... :kick:
