Personally, I think it's more important that America get someone who is willing to cross party lines and is capable of undoing Bush's mess into office than it is to elect a woman or black man just for the sake of doing something different.

If you believe in Obama or Hillary's politics, so be it. Vote for them. But to vote for them simply because it's "ground-breaking" and "progressive" is bullshit. Vote for the person you feel can do the job, color or sex be damned.

AMEN!!!! QFT!!!!! Rocketpig gets it! He gets it ladies and gentlemen! He understands the undertones of our country and the needs it has. WE don't agree on everything, but on this point I am solidly in his corner.

So, with that statement, you're assuming that all of Barack's supporters are voting for him only because he's black? Bullshit. I'm voting for him because, gee, guess what..HE'S THE MAN I FEEL CAN DO THE BEST. Color and Sex are damned when I form my opinions of who I want to vote for, and you might be shocked to learn that most voters work the same way.

 

Hooray for forming my opinion without asking for it! Thanks for putting words in my mouth.

But seriously anybody who votes for someone based on anything other than qualifications should not be voting. I am glad that you think he will do the best and that is why you are voting for him. But I do not believe he can accomplish what he wants to, or what the country needs. There are too many voters that vote for a party, not and a position.
