One way or another; we're gonna make history. I see the immediate (and not too surprising) reaction to McCain's VP pick in the recent diary list. In fact, I'm looking forward to the dKos "vetting" of Palin that is now being furiously researched. Her qualifications, or lack thereof, is a serious question that needs to be addressed. Meanwhile, I recommend we all take a deep breath, and consider the history we are living today.
This November, the winning ticket of the presidential election will include either an African-American or a woman. I think that's an accomplishment worth noting, and celebrating.
I haven't been commenting (or reading) here as often as I used to - due to a schedule change - but am posting today because I hope that some may feel as I do - a slight pause to enjoy this turn of events might be appropriate.
And speaking as a white, middle class, middle aged male - I'd like to say to my brothers and sisters of all the demographics: Good for us.
