Nobody cuts to the chase quite like Heather Mac Donald. If he

Thanks a lot, John McCain. With his selection of an unknown,
two-year female governor as his running mate, he has just ensured
that the diversity racket will be an essential component of
presidential politics forever more. Had the 44-year-old Sarah
Palin, whose greatest political accomplishment before being elected
Alaska's governor in 2006 was serving as mayor of Wasilla
(population 9,780), been named Stanley, she would have had exactly
zero chance of ending up in the Oval Office in the next four years.
But from now on, any presidential ticket that consists solely of
white males-no matter their qualifications-will likely be dead in
the water.
