Mr. Roberts said that entry standards for Clean Elections needed to be strictly enforced to prevent "trivial" candidates from taking advantage of public funds.
On this occasion, perhaps women licence-payers can leave it to David Cameron, Miriam O'Reilly and the now entirely reformed John Inverdale (of "not a looker" Bartoli fame), to explain why no one could reasonably fault a predisposition to put a woman in charge of the overwhelmingly male BBC hierarchy, assuming only trivial differences between candidates.
By the way, to the (trivial) extent that any candidate deserves censure for supposedly neglecting the routine duties of his day job, governors are a more logical target than senators.
Four years ago he, too, asserted that there were only trivial differences between the candidates, a view even many of his longtime supporters have come to see as, to put it mildly, deranged (O.K., not all that mildly).
The second issue with this approach is that the authors have not clearly mentioned how to assign credits to the packets, which is clearly a non-trivial issue as effective candidate set selection depends upon it.
But given the 'narrative potential' [ 8] of any given gene, as well as the non-trivial probability that a candidate mutation will be functional at the molecular level but not causal for the phenotype being investigated, the bar must be set extremely high for declaring success.
But even beyond party platforms, discussion (and backlash to the discussion) has zeroed in on seemingly trivial choices made by the candidates' wives: Michelle Obama's dress at the D.N.C., or Ann Romney's Pinterest account.
