Let’s be fair and bipartisan. Sherrod Brown is awfully white. But all joking aside, it would be nice to see more diversity in both parties.

Well, I’m not sure how “new” Mary Taylor would be. So far, she seems like the same old, same old to me as far as the GOP goes (nasty, ultra-right, running on unimportant issues and smears, potential corruption and conflict-of-interest isses). Seriously, the GOP had a MORE diverse a ticket in 2006, especially when it comes to women, where a full HALF their ticket was women, compared to only two on ours, which featured four white men, to their two. it’s not sex and race that make things new, but fresher, better ideas. If the GOP ran Mary Taylor cynically, because they think a woman’s name on the ballot will help get her elected, but she’s still flogging abortion and gay marriage, then no, I am not anymore interested than I would have been in electing a crackpot like Sandy O’Brien treasurer, also running on abortion and gay marriage, but demonstrating an almost total ignorance of the financial issues key in running the treasurer’s office.

The GOP is treating Mary Taylor just like it treated Betty Montgomery. It has underestimated and under-appreciated both.

Oh that’s good, Eric! I do remember that post. Amazing how not new the GOP’s idea of new is.
