For me, it's not just historic about the races and the genders. I would never vote for Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. But I like what Obama has to say. I will not vote for McCain or Palin because she holds different positions from me.
One other thing, many people said they voted for bush in the beginning because he "was a guy you could share a beer with at a barbecue, a regular guy". Palin claims she is "just a regular hockey mom". I do not want a regular joe in the office. I want a leader. Regular joes have regular little minds with small problems and small solutions. I want the big brain that sees the big picture.
