The Denver Post has pointed out yet another way Colorado is trying to stick its foot in it for the Democratic National Convention - the DNC has set up rules for the demographics of delegates that Colorado has apparently failed to meet. It seems that there are too many men selected as delegates, which means that a male delegate must step down and allow a female alternate to move up to delegate position. The male moving down puts the balance of the alternates out of whack, so a male alternate must also step down and allow a female who wasn't even chosen to be a delegate or an alternate to take his place. Which means that some dude just lost his ticket to the convention, all because he has the wrong parts.
I hope that male alternate who's losing his spot at the convention will think long and hard next an affirmative action vote comes his way.
I wonder if there's a M-to-F transsexual who's been counted as his birth gender in the alternates pool? If they moved her up and counted her as a her instead of as a him, it could fill the requirement that the genders be balanced, and the gender balance would remain the same for the alternate pool. Plus the Dems could score another hypocritical point with the gay community, pretending that they're doing something positive for gays instead of being self-serving.
