 That may be unfortunate, but that's the political reality. So the chances are high that the vice presidential choice would probably be a male if she is the nominee, and presumably a white male. That's sort of the political reality. It may not be what many people wish would be the case in America, but we certainly are not living in a perfect society. I think we all know. Thanks, Alan.
