I think I may a little behind a lot of people, but I just realized last night that I will see a "non-traditional" American president. I love that he's black (clearly I mean Obama because Clinton doesn't have a chance), but I honestly would be just as happy if he was a she, or Hispanic or Italian. Just anything other than a Catholic white male. Just something different. A change (smile).
This post isn't a speech on behalf of Barack Obama, because I actually like both candidates. It's just amazing to me that I thought I'd NEVER see this. I'm only 26 and I really thought it wouldn't happen while I was still breathing. *Time to get very corny* Now I kinda feel like anything can happen.

er, you did mean "protestant" white male, not "catholic" white male, right? IIRC, JFK is still the only catholic president we've ever had. :>
and i agree, this is incredibly encouraging. :D
nice to see you blogging again. :>
