Who doesn't love a good ol' political maverick like Sarah Palin? Er, on second thought... maybe not Sarah Palin. But perhaps another female politician. A recent survey showed that swing voters react better to female VP picks than male -- and that applies to both presidential tickets.
It was unlikely for Barack Obama to switch over to a female running mate like Hillary Clinton in the middle of his re-election bid, but Mitt Romney's a different story. Do you think the Republican presidential candidate should have opted for a female VP pick -- like Condoleezza Rice, for example -- instead of his actual pick, Paul Ryan?

JEZEBEL.COM reports:
A new survey based on "evolutionary algorithms" identified the best possible VP ticket for both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney by trying out 100 million combinations of vice presidents, platforms, slogans and candidate images. The result: Each would've performed better with swing voters if they had chosen strong female candidates -- Condoleezza Rice for Romney and Hillary Clinton for Obama, to be specific -- as running mates.

Incidentally, I am against abortion, but not to this extent.
1- I look on black websites, and people seem to revile black cons. Why do think that is?
2- Do the Republicans care about black issues. Blueblackdog.com doesn't seem to think so. Are they right?
