Let me preface this by saying that I know this is a Democratic blogosphere so this may be both my first and last diary here. I know that your goal is to have some non-Bushish character in the White House (read: Democrat). I know you feel that McCain is more of George Bush. Therefore deductive reasoning would suggest that any democrat is better than McCain. I know that people are concerned about Supreme Court appointees (I do take this into consideration but it is admittedly not my number one issue). Knowing all that, let’s continue.....

About me: I was asked by a pollster what was more important to me, being black or being a woman. I was flabbergasted at the question, but I eventually picked being black. I mean there are numerically about the same number of women if not more than men, while black people make up ~12% of the US population. I’m only adding this because in order for you to understand my diary, you may need to know this fact which I eventually thought a lot about after that call.

The democratic party: historically my whole family has voted a str8 dem ticket. I remember my booth experiences being short as all get out because they only had to do the str8 ticket bubble: how disappointing!
