I haven't spent a lot of time keeping up with presidential campaign issues
(I know for whom I'm voting!), but I am concerned about the adamant stand
taken by NOW (and other feminist organizations, I assume) about having a
woman on the Democratic ticket.  

Doesn't equality mean that the issue of gender should have no bearing
on the decision?

Maybe I'm just gutless, but I think that liberals have a lot to lose in this
election: Reagan's re-election will virtually assure a *VERY* conservative
Supreme Court; the effects will be felt for years to come.  

The best man for the job MAY be a woman, but then again....
