2. Hispanics are a plurality in NM
I do not consider him a true minority because of that.

4. We have a Jewish female governor

here in the Hawaii. But she is a Republican and probably is very left of center of the current Republicans in the nation (but not as much as Chafee).

Whites are a minority in Hawaii so she counts. So, is it Locke or a Republican? Choice, choices, choices!

9. Now that we have won Louisiana, I hope we learn something
We cannot allow the Repugs to have more diverse representatives than us. We are the party of inclusion, and we need to push minority candidates for office, and not just mayoral races in minority cities, we need to support and defend a diverse group of candidates for higher office.
