Personally, I think the Democratic National Committee should select the best-qualified candidate. I bring up the color and sex issue only to mock Democrats’ obsession with votes while they care nothing about putting “people of color” in leadership positions. Read this sarcastic post.
From the Los Angeles Times:
The seven candidates seeking the job — a group headlined by former presidential contender Howard Dean — has spent the last several weeks trooping to regional Democratic forums around the country, holding fundraisers to build campaign treasuries that exceed $200,000, juggling demands from influential interest groups and deluging the 447 voting DNC members with calls pursuing their vote…Former Ohio Democratic Chairman David Leland and former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb, the only African American in the contest, have drawn limited support.
While Bush is appointing black women and Hispanics to high-profile positions, let the white boys at the DNC fight among themselves. Who cares? Howard Dean, Michael Moore: What difference does it make?

Update: Looks like screaming Dean is a shoe-in. We shall overcome some other day…
