Assumptions

Politico's Mike Allen and Jonathan Martin:

However, the fact that Sotomayor is a Latina could also present a political challenge for Republicans. Senators from the GOP, which has suffered from an internal rift over immigration issues and problem-plagued efforts to reach out to Hispanics, will have to decide how directly and sharply they want to attack a Latina single mother whose confirmation to the court is virtually certain.

Sonia Sotomayor does not have children. What do you think the odds are that Politico would assume that a single white male nominee is a “single father”?
