Maybe its the only way we could do it (5.00 / 4) (#60)

If I recall, a few years ago we were talking about how in order for an African American to get elected POTUS, he / she would have to be conservative enough to get a certain population past their racial insecurities.

I just now woke up to what Obama is; he is the realization of a dream; an extremely cynical and pragmatic one, but many of us thought it might have to happen this way*.

Maybe we need to have Con woman in the WH before a Lib woman, no? I hope not, but look what's happening now.

*of course, that was before the US was screwed beyond belief (and possibly repair), and now is not the time for a newbie, no matter how historical.

it'll be some type of maggie thatcher. (5.00 / 2) (#113)

Palin is a good candidate for that if she so chose.

of the kind of person I think a lot of intelligent commenters would have thought would have a chance of being the first black President.
