I've suspected that a good many people want to vote for Obama due to his election being of historical significance. And one has to to a degree suspect that this is why McCain chose Palin. I think that Clinton could have had a lot of votes for much the same reason. Although Palin certainly will not be the influence Clinton could have been.
Will is right though that the candidates chosen should be about their policies and abilities to handle issues. We are simply faced with another election where we must choose the lesser of two evils. We just try to find comfort in there finally being real opportunities for women and minorities.
