We need great Young minds in the White House I hope she gets a good look. I also think that Maria Teresa Peterson needs a good look as a young hispanic voice that seems up to many tasks... Even if just a political aid to Axlerod...... This election was as much about generational change as any other issue.. I think that Obama winning large percentages of the 40 and under demographic should be reflected.....
