James would you rather the question be  "Will the Bush/Cheney presidential ticket be the last of self serving, hypocritical men capable of causing distress to the entire American population and the downward spiral of the economy?".

James, I am with you all the way on this one.  I certainly want everyone to have a level playing field.  And, hopefully, we have accomplished that.  But if two "old" white guys happen to be the very best candidates, that’s who I want.  I don’t think in terms of having the requisite number of women, minorities or whatever.  I think that kind of thinking can be counterproductive. 

Candice is living proof that PC is made for the simple minded. Obama is "transforming" things alright…only thing is, the majority (although slight) of the American people do not approve of that transformation.

To say that an Afro-American, an Asian, a woman…would be better, is to put into place the very same inequity that she is disapproving of. …But…how PC of you Candice…silly, but very PC….so very Hollywood.

Hopefully, Americans will abandon this ridiculous trend of being PC  and vote for the most qualified…no matter how white, black or otherwise.

If not, then I suggest a genetically engineered candidate that has equal parts of every race available to mankind. Then, they should be virtually exposed to every situation that each of these races MAY experience. Then maybe…if there is time left, they could read our laws and decide to abide by the will of "the people."

You know "the people" as in humans, American humans… not white, or black or otherwise.

Get a grip Candice…maybe all over 50 actresses should be only of ethnic origins…no more "old white has beens" on the big screen…because we all know that ethnic actresses are so much more in touch with being over 50 and a female than any older white woman is….

Let’s get rid of Streep and all of her ilk… what do they know about acting anyway….

Let’s face it…you just can’t fix stupid or those that are awash in the La la land of the Hollywood elitists.

Deniseann, it’s still discriminatory, no matter how you slice it. You mean that Clinton/Gore didn’t help improve the economy? Kennedy/Johnson, etcetera? I was rooting for Hillary Clinton up until she dropped out of the primary race last summer. But it wasn’t because she was a woman. Rather, because of what she stood for. That’s the key distinction. Perhaps a woman could give us a fresh perspective on things in office, no doubt. But that’s not the point. The point is, it’s not right to lump in all white, old men with the likes of Bush/Cheney, and similar buffoons.
