actually, obama didn't fill out the race portion of his application to
Harvard. So he got in based on his qualifications alone.
Without a personal interview?
Without any contact with any intermediary between the school and Obama?
I think it unlikely.
Let's examine what you "think" for a moment. Let's assume that what you
"think" is accurate (even though there is no evidence to support it). The
very worst you could say about Obama was he got an advantage he did not seek
out. Meanwhile McCain sought out the very institution he KNEW he would be
provided with an advantage based on the fact that both his father and
grandfather were admirals in the Navy. Furthermore he continued to use that
advantage throughout his tenure at Annapolis. It's unlikely he would have
been allowed to stay based on his grades and conduct if not for that
advantage.
