This is a sad but kind of true fact: Race will always be an issue in this country. People lie when they say that isn't so. Just three generations ago have women had the right to vote. African Americans have only had an enforceable right to vote for only one generation. And, now here we are with a black and a women poised to be the Democratic party candidate for President. And now, with the conventions looming,Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton hinted at the possibility of a Democratic "dream ticket" with Sen. Barack Obama. It just brings that ol' familiar tune into my head...
Surprisingly, on "The Early Show" on CBS, Clinton said "that may be where this is headed, but of course we have to decide who is on the top of the ticket." Clinton said the race between her and Obama remains "incredibly close," with just "smidgens of difference" between them in both the popular vote and number of delegates. Clinton's remarks came after her campaign won two big states yesterday: Ohio and Texas. Obama congratulated Clinton on her victories while maintaining he would be able to wrap up the Democratic nomination.
I've heard the race thing a lot lately. And it sucks. Hopefully, the only ones still chattering about race are the media representatives. I don't care if someone makes a decision using whatever methods they choose. Maybe this election will be decided by smart people. I hope everyone weighs the cards carefully and selects the best person for the job. I just hope that this issue, one that truly has no effect on how our country is to be run, will not guarantee John McCain as the next president. ![]()
