Reply #50: Not necessarily

[Lydia Leftcoast]

If they have an attractive vision and the ability to communicate it, it doesn't matter that much who they are.

I'm old enough to remember 1960, when commentators were saying seriously that Protestant America was not ready for a Catholic president.

And remember, back in 1988, Jesse Jackson won the Michigan primary.

Don't count anyone out because of their ethnicity or gender or any other factors that are irrelevant to being president.

Look at their vision, look at their way of presenting themselves, look at the way crowds respond to them.
