You're kidding right? Did you know that more than 50% of Bush's administration was minorities and women? That's the highest appointment of minorities and women to any presidential administration in US history, and Romney would most likely have followed that trend. Clinton's administration, by contrast, was comprised of approximately 33% minorities and women. As far as gay rights issues... those are determined by the judicial, not executive branch of government. Its easy and sophomoric to say, "yeah but the president appoints the supreme court justices.". While that is true, we all saw what good that did with a supposed "conservative majority in the US Supreme Court, with turncoat traitors. As far as students are concerned... yeah I'll give you that Democrats make life a little easier for them, but even that difference is not stark. And if you're a business owner, you're MUCH better off with having a conservative in office because of the decreases taxes which make you more solvent and profitable so you can hire more minorities and women. :-)
