The American Prospect looks at the racial and gender diversity of the managers running the campaigns of the Democrats and Republicans running for president.
Election 2008 has been hailed as a milestone in American cultural evolution on account of the strong showings thus far by a black man and a white woman running for the Democratic presidential nomination. But a look at George Washington University's highly bookmarkable comprehensive campaign 2008 site, Democracy in Action P2008, along with the list of campaign staff TPM Election Central's Matt Corley put together over the winter, shows that the campaign manager ranks are also unprecedentedly diverse.
The liberals who run The American Prospect care about "diversity," as a goal in and of itself, though I suspect the Republican candidates who chose non-white male campaign managers did so because they thought the person they selected could help them win.
