We should all be proud

Yep, history will be made, the USA is moving forward.

Agreed.

 

Something I can agree with.

 

Yep, first thing I thought of when he picked her.


Also, McCain would be the oldest elected non-incumbent ever. Although that's not necessarily a virtue for some.

 

i dont care if we elect a four-headed alien, as long as whoever is elected gets crap done.

 

this is histoy in the making.

our country is breaking through, one way or another.

definately cool to see this.

...but i'm still undecided.

 

Agree. And this is the best basso thread in a really long time.

 

Yep and I bet the Libertarian Party gets more votes than ever before due to the historical nature of Obama and Palin.

 

I don't get the view that nominating a minority candidate (black or female) is in itself a sign of significant social progress, if what they stand for fits into the status quo. Frankly, I think that's the case for both Obama and Palin. I guess that makes me a cynic.

 

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

 

According to most people I know, I qualify as a cynic too. But if you don't think nominating a black or a woman candidate for president isn't a sign of significant social progress in this country, you are either blind or too young to understand, not cynical.

 

This is great, this country has come full circle

 

Back around to the Founding Fathers that included women and black men?

And I fully agree with the thread starter.

 

I don't often see eye to eye with basso. But in this instance I do.

I think this is a positive sign.

 

Wonder how many votes Mickey Mouse is going to get this year.

 

Bookmark the thread... I'm agreeing with basso!

 

Another winger kumbayah thread!

j/k -- I completely agree and propose the motion that this be moved to the Hangout.

 

It's an interesting pick by McCain.

The times are changing.
