But come on folks it does matter there are still enough people out there that dont think we are ready for either, and I won't lie I don't care what women it is I will not vote for a women for the president of the untied states call me what you will I just won't, as for a non-white I will reserve the right to check him out and make a decision, But I will say I think as a people we might be ready for a women more so then a Black. Just my thoughts. I am sure I will get bashed for the women remark but oh well at least it will spark a debate.

I won't bash you but we did come thisclose to having a Jewish Vice President in 2000. A lot of people would say that would never happen either. It almost did.

And don't think that that didn't cost the democrats the election, b/c it probably did. Again, don't underestimate the public.

I think Al Gore still has my social security in his lock box......whatever that meant.

I see privitization also has come up...oh wait it hasn't. That's what is a joke about these campaigns, In 2K SS was probably the most important issue to me.....now it seems minor. Empty promises to get your vote.

I thought Katherine Harris cost the Dems the election. Wait, that was 2004.

That's the problem...politicians underestimate the public! I agree that bigotry and racism still exist...and they permeate large segments of the population. The south is an easy target...but here in central Pa we still have a large KKK representation and frankly, subtle racism/sexism exists everywhere. The only way to fight it is to bring it into the light...and you don't do that by being too cowardly as a political party to challenge the sterotypes...nominate a black and/or woman candidate and give the public the opportunity to surprise those who say it can't be done!

To me, parts of PA are the south Somer.
