This headline at the CBC has been up for a week and a half now; Biden close to choosing running mate...
A week and a half?
Is he getting any closer?
Why is it so problematic to find a suitable running mate? After all, the odds are good that this running mate will, sooner or later, become POTUS. Probably sooner, given what we've seen of Joe recently.
So what's the hold-up?
I guess Joe did winnow the field when he tipped it had to be a person with a cervix, or whatever we call women these days.
And if you're heading up Tokenism Trail anyway, you might as well pull out the stops and go for a Black person with a cervix.
Remember, this Black person with a cervix has to be "presidential" material.
How can that possibly be a problem? Take a look at what passes for "presidential" these days.
It's not like we've set the bar particularly high.
The smart money seems to be tilting towards Susan Rice. Nobody ever mentions the other Black person with a cervix named Rice, Condi. I don't understand how she can be overlooked.
After all, how many Black people with a cervix have ever had an oil tanker named after them?
That's gotta count for something.
