Either way, next US presidency will be historic, with either the first black president or the first woman vice-president. Either way it is groundbreaking territory for America.

I was hoping that the race was going to be a black man vs. a white woman. I originally wanted a couple of years ago that it should be Colin Powell vs. Hillary Clinton. I'm surprised that it actually came out to something like this, just not the parties that I had envisioned.

This is something that I think that will change the face of politics in the next 20 years. Kids today can again dream of one day possibly being president. To me this is why the country is great, because there is always hope, there is always potential for change. Growing up watching the Mondale-Ferraro democratic ticket of 1984, I have been waiting for something like this to happen again.
