If the GOP has any chance to win back the White House they will need to become the party of the big tent in deed not word. Don't expect the VP nominee to be a white male; of course one must expect the party leaders learned a lesson in 2008 and the person will be vetted up, down and sideways.
Will Tokenism save the GOP? Not likely, for picking the VP nominee based solely on sex or ethnicity will be rightly seen by the majority of voters as what it is, pandering.
LO friggin L!! The world would never have heard of barack obama if he was white and you accuse Republicans of tokenism?
The GOP puts up candidates based on qualifications, not complexion. when we get behind a man like Alan West or Herman Cain, it's not us that does everything in our power to marginalize him.
The left fears viable Conservative minority candidates. The only way they can win is to have a monopoly on the minority vote.
The world heard of Barrack Obama because the people of Illinois elected him in the 2004 Seanate primary campaign, beating Alan Keyes, the tokan put up by the Illinois state GOP. Obama beat the conservative Keyes by a margin of 43%.
