It is well known, in particular among women, that they must be clearly better qualified vs. male candidates for same jobs to secure a professional position.
Having understood and accepted that as a current reality, quite a few women have still made it up to the highest echelons in business and politics and done that by putting in extra hours of hard work.
One good current example obviously is Rice, who could well become a running candidate against Ms. Clinton in 2008.

So it is absolute BS to require that the ante should be lowered to subsidize lower quality candidates of other genders, ethnicity or what have you just for the purpose of filling crucial positions in business or politics with other than the supremely qualified candidates. Subsiding mediocrity is the beginning of the end of any society.
That is not necessary at all, whoever has the skills and the ambitions will eventually have fair chances to get there anyway under the US democratic system.
