I don’t think it needs to be a woman of color but I could see that as definitely being a big plus for a VP. Or maybe not, like I said I’m not good at guessing. I have to say I was thrilled with seeing a gay guy do so well in the primary. If he wasn’t gay I’m sure my enthusiasm would have been much less. Even though Mayor Pete and I probably would have never gone to the same schools or parties I can’t say I’m immune to identity politics myself.
