more disturbing still is that he seems to be the best choice.
I don't see why her thesis was wrong. She spoke on the racial divide in 1985 at a school that was almost exclusively white at the time. The society and culture surrounding the University had to be odd for a young, black woman in 1985. After reading it, it seemed like a fair assesment of how she felt about going to school there. I would imagine I'd have had the same sentiment if I went to an all black inner-city school as a white male.

Nonetheless, it was a thesis written in her early twenties. Who cares?

If you want to bash politician's wives, look at Cindy McCain. She was a drug addict and a thief in the 90's. Still, I don't see why that would change my vote for McCain?
