I'm more afraid they won't choose a woman for a running
mate because they would be afraid they wouldn't get elected.
I'd be satisfied if they chose a woman "just to get
elected."  For one thing, chances would be that she would
be very highly qualified to be even considered for the
job.
Also, many many companies have helped to improve the lot
of women by hiring and promoting them just because they had
to (because of EEO and Affirmative Action programs).
Once people get used to having them around, they more
readily accept the idea.
