B. I've never voted for a Democrat in 30 years of voting, but when Palin was on McCains ticket I almost did.
Palin would be a joke as a president.
If there's a woman more qualified than the current candidates, sign me up.
I will say this:
One of the things I liked about Obama's presidency was that he was a role model for a group of kids that statistically speaking have needed role models. Not as much now as days gone by, but I love how Obamma shows African American kids that they literally can be whatever they want to be in this country if they're willing to do the work.
Same would be true for Billary, although there are more women going to college now than men, so I think they may have figured this out to a greater extent than young African American men.
Obama is also proof positive the country isn't as racist as some (Ahem..Dave) seem to think it is.
In general, we've made HUGE strides in diversity in the last 40 years and I think people just need to remember that ideas, and ignorance, don't die overnight.
