Joe Lieberman brought a token Jew to the ticket, and we know based on the 2008 that Dems love token candidates
It couldn't also be his reputation as a Democrat who distanced himself from Clinton or that he was strong on defense?
Of course not.
It was just that he was a jew. Nice argument there.
Is any non-Christian, non-white, or woman token in your opinion?
When they are chosen simply because they are Jewish or black (ex. Lieberman or Obama), then yes that is the definition of token candidate. If they focus their campaign around their minority status that is also the definition of a token candidate. Non-token candidates would include Harold Ford Jr., Deval Patrick, Sarah Palin, etc.
