That's a given, but wait 5 months...
Once the candidates are a lock, someone will ask McCain a question about race (or gender)...
Nomatter what the answer, you'll hear the Left start the inevitable "There goes McCain discussing race!...Just like I knew the Republicans would do!!!!"...
And they'll pretend everything happening during the Democratic primaries never happened...

I would vote for Thatcher right now if she was a candidate...
I would be happy to vote for a QUALIFIED woman...Hillary ain't it...
I would be happy to vote for a QUALIFIED black person...Obama ain't it...
I want the eventual winner to be a good president...and if they're black or a woman, that's a bonus...
What I DON'T want is the eventual winner chosen BECAUSE they are black or woman, then crossing your fingers and hoping that being a good president is a bonus...
