explain to me, wayne, why not being an expert on qualified hispanic women 
disqualifies me from having an opinion that hispanic women are underrepresented 
in government?  are either you or john experts? i very clearly stated in the 
very first post i made on this topic that i was referring to QUALIFIED hispanic 
women.  in fact i agree with both you and john that the
merit should determine who is the best person for the job, regardless of race, 
religion or gender!    the point i keep trying to make, which both you and john 
are persistently determined to ignore, is that these minorities continue to be 
underrepresented in proportion to their population demographic.
