I don't think I'm the only one who doesn't fully appreciate the making history part of this presidential election cycle. Maybe if the economy was in better shape, maybe if we weren't bogged down in Iraq, maybe if housing prices weren't dropping like a rock - maybe if there weren't so many serious problems in this country, I would be dwelling a lot more on the historic ramifications of the next Democratic candidate.
I was never a big fan of the Clintons - I admit it. I don't hate them, either. I could have voted for Hillary if she was the nominee, but I'm very happy at the prospect of voting for Obama.
But for me, race and gender were never the issue. The distinction between the two of them has been someone who wants to continue to fight, or someone who wants to work together. I'm voting for the one who wants to work together. The problems are too big and affect all of us.
