[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 189050, member: 3626"] I remember when Shirley Chisholm ran for President. She was serious. The nation either laughed or reviled her. Ditto the Rev. Jesse Jackson. Geraldine Ferraro was selected as the VP candidate basically because the Dems knew they had no chance of winning and wanted to make a statement. Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama truly had/have a chance of winning. These are not "joke" candidates. It is wonderful that we can finally say that yes, anyone can become President (of course, it helps to have $$ and the right backing). Kudos to the USA for growing up and not judging a person by sex or race but rather by their chances of truly winning (now, if only we could get someone because they truly are the best person for the office).
