i was just thinking about who i should vote for. either way i think this is an improvment. maybe i shouldnt say improvemtn. progress i think is better. either way women and the african american community have come very far. i honestly never expected to see a female on the ticket this soon. I have expected it to happy but i didnt think it would be for at least another ten years. The reason for this is because I didn't think the country was ready for that yet. now while the president wont be female this is still something big, very big.

I was thinking that both parties have something very big to overcome. the republicans because well to be blunt they have a chick and a old guy. There has been alot of talk about what would happen if mccain doesn't last the next four years. he is older and has a history of health problems. you have to admit that the guy is one tough cookie though. from his time in the military as a prisoner to his battles with cancer. Then there in palin... well there is the inexperience, personal issues, and she is very conservative. I think the one thing she will have the most trouble with is the fact that she is a woman. There are alot of people that are just not ready for a lady in the office. Its sad, people expected there to be flying cars and all these robots by now lol! instead of all of that we are still fighting for gender equality. I personally don't care if the president or vice president is a guy or not. What I am more concerned with is her inexperience because if something does happen to mccain we will have a rookie finding herself in the most stressfull and important job in the whole country.

To some degree obama has to deal with this as well. he is younger and pretty inexperienced. I also think there are alot of people that still are too racist to be ok with a black guy as the president. its terrible that we havent gotten over those feelings by now but only an idiot would say there isnt any racism left in our country. after all of those that have suffered and died for improvement in the way groups of people are treated, not all that much has changed.
