I think you've been taught to make these important decisions based on emotion. Some folks can overcome emotion, for example some hold their nose's and vote. Perhaps a better approach would be to educate your future generations that there're option. Then, taking an option won't affect folks physically, and more important, candidates can be heard for the message and resume that they have, not the race or gender that tics off some feel good check list.

I'm sure your buddy knows you, but you may just be perpetuating a disservice. Put up a half way decent candidate, and the winner's ability to expose shortcomings would not have been there. I think 'ability', to stick to teflon, was interesting.
