Given history, this should juice up JL....
I'm on the fence. I like the fact that she's of a diverse ethnic background, that she's a she, that she's Catholic.
But, man, that New Haven firefighter case keeps clawing at my brain (Google will reveal the details, if you're unfamiliar, basically, a CT firefighter who is dyslexic crammed for hrs to ace a promotion exam. And ace it he did. But was tossed from consideration anyway when minorities who also took the exam didn't do as well as hoped. So the test was declared flawed and the results were scrapped. He sued. Lost. Case dismissed. It's marching to the Supreme Court.).
I will also say, though that the Republican rhubarbs (Gingrich) are once again being dolts. I don't think this is a woman to whom the label "unintelligent" can be applied. And the notion that she's racist (Latina woman = better judgment comment) is stoopid. I see that as a slip of the lip. Nothing more.
