History in the making

One way or the other, history is going to be made this fall

We will either have a black man as President or a woman as Vice-President. Palin is a great pick. She may not really be the very best person for the job, but she steals a ton of Obama's thunder, both because of the timing of the pick and who she is. The buzz tonight is all on Palin, and not on Obama's speech last night. Professional women will like Palin, mothers will like Palin and given her NRA membership, men who otherwise may not have voted for a woman on a ticket will like Palin. McCain may have gone a long way toward winning the Presidency today.

Now what will really be great is when a candidate is viewed on their stance and qualification instead of their gender or race...

More on the Palin Pick later...
