Reply #52: A valid question and certainly not flamebait -

- unless one wishes to call every issue they may disagree with "flamebait". I agree with you - the country is not ready for either a woman or a black man. Right now we still have a huge number of pre-boomer voters - parents of baby boomers, and I would imagine mostly FDR-era democrats - who are certainly not ready for either. The country, as a whole, probably won't be ready for a woman or black man until such time as those pre-boomers are gone and probably the older portion of the baby-boomer generation.
