Poll: Gender not important for Obama picks

Article here. Excerpt:
'When it comes to Barack Obama’s Cabinet, women offer some intriguing advice:
Gender shouldn’t matter.
That’s the finding of a new national poll of 600 women – two-thirds of respondents said Obama should focus strictly on qualifications and “should not consider gender at all” in building his team.
A mere 3 percent said Obama should appoint an equal number of men and women to his Cabinet. And 27 percent staked out a middle ground – saying Obama should aim for gender balance, but not at the expense of finding the best people, the poll for the Lifetime Networks found.'

Clap, clap clap
Well, I'm personally pleased to know that the majority still has common sense. If we're going to break things down to gender parity then where do we stop? Should we start having the correct representation of all races and cultures?
Not the time
This is definitely not the time for gender games. The US has to repair the economy, fix its relations with the world, and do something about that Iraq mess. It is not the time to be nominating less experienced, less qualified people to posts based on what's in their pants.
