(Seriously, that Google thing you've heard so much about? It works.)
So it appears that membership in the Harvard Law Review does not take race and sex into account. Despite what half your friends say. It does appear that, after they choose 34 editors from competitive processes, other editors are selected on a discretionary basis, that they may take diversity into account in those selections. So I'm sure that Obama couldn't have POSSIBLY been selected to the editorial board based on the competitive process, right? That's what I thought. But regardless, he still had to do the competition to get on to the HLR int eh first place. Unless there's also some conspiracy there . . . ?
You are really naive. Yes, the put "a" policy online, as do all the law reviews.
And I was talking about getting on to law review in the first place. If you re-read, you'll see that I didn't talk about race as part of the editorship selection, I was only talking about getting on. Like most law reviews, you can "grade" onto the HLR or you can "write on" with some "discretion". Go find someone who was on a HLR board and ask them if race/sex is ever part of the process for getting on to law review in the first place.
Or just ask anyone who was on a top law review board, because the reviews talk to one another about how they do things.

It makes me laugh when the lefties gets their panties all in a wad over a guy who entered the race yesterday.
He isn't even the nominee and the race is 15 months out.
Good job!

Wonder what Obama got. Hell I wonder what Tim Geitner got. But no such luck. If they were so good wouldn't he just reveal them?
This is like when everyone assumed Kerry was much "smarter" than Bush. In the reveal it turned out their grades were basically the same with Bush a tad higher.
I bet Obama's grades sucked. Which for me isn't a big deal.

Yeah, half my friends went to Harvard Law. A lot of the top law reviews have spots for women and minorities. Chicago Law is the main one I can think of that doesn't.
To be editor, you have to be on law review already, probably obvious, and be voted editor by the outgoing board. Personalty plays into this, of course. They don't' ask for a transcript.
"Half my friends" is now a reliable source of information?
No, of course not.

And I should add, that doesn't mean it's not an honor. It just means it's not about grades or even necessarily how smart you are, which is what one of the PPs was suggesting.

Still waiting on Obama's college transcripts. Funny how those are still top secret with his transparency pledge.
I like Perry, I need to see more of him though.
Why should he release them? He was the president of the Harvard Law Review, though. For the benefit of folks who never graduated from high school, that's kind of a big deal. Of course, maybe he used his "family connections" at Harvard to pull some strings. Heh.

Great record in Texas, and to top it off it wouldn't hurt having some eye candy in the WH for the next 4-8 yrs.
Sure, I don't see why it would be surprising that Rick Perry might have "supporters". There are religious zealots. There are far-right economic illiterates. As Summers was reported to have said, "There are idiots. Look around."
As far as "eye candy", there are lots of old ladies and sexually frustrated middle-aged women who like that sort of thing I suppose. Frankly, I'm not really attracted to the late-middle-aged Apollo-from-Battlestar-Galactica look, but different strokes for different folks:
Richard Hatch...
...Richard Parry...
...separated at birth.
Yes, the eye candy in the second BSG was heavily weighted towards women. Tricia Helfer, Grace Park . . .

Actor Richard Hatch has stated that Zarek ran for office because "he's always looking for positions where he can leverage himself, where he can have more influence. He obviously believes that he's fighting for the people, but very much so often the idealistic revolutionary becomes the self-serving politician. So often, what you think is for the people ends up being for you. I think that happens to so many political leaders. They start out for beneficial reasons but they get caught up in the process for their own purposes and agendas."
He was eventually executed by firing squad.

So, there's a happy ending?
