The first black president...the first woman VP. This really levels the playing field in my mind.?

Question

It's a very exciting time in politics - I think it's great and can't wait to see how this all ends up. I'm interested to see the direction of the country when it isn't led by old, white men. What are your thoughts?

(And please spare me the criticism of my own personal views that I mentioned above. You don't have to agree with me. I'd like to hear what everyone else is thinking though.)

Answer 1

I don't think race and gender should matter this much.  

Answer 2

McCain is hoping people will say "Well, at least he has a woman running". Never mind who the h**l she actually is.
