Where in the rule book does it state that ONLY women can represent women, 
ONLY people of color can represent people who look like them, etc?  I have 
hoped that this level of high school political correctness was long gone from 
our public discourse, but  I am horrified to find myself mistaken.  I am a 
long time lurker and first time contributor,  and this issue totally frosts 
my cookies.  Such thinking leads to complete balkanization of the polity, and 
does not build consensus or community.Meritocracy, people, is our best hope.
