carol moseley braun?
that candidate from the 2004 presidential race?
i guess she doesn't get much mention now because she didn't take it all the way, although i did watch her in preliminary debates at least once. if she had been elected, she would have been the first african american + woman president. according to wikipedia, she was the first and only black woman elected to the senate. she was also the first african american senator to be elected as a democrat.
i didn't vote for kerry in the primaries. i had been rooting for dean + kucinich.
excited about 2008 though--a lot of potential there!
you are all invited to my place to eat sausage soup + watch the presidential debate when it's time. (it's a tradition i started in 2004.) hmm, on second thought, this time maybe i'll ditch the sausage. ;)

some of my fondest memories of young-adulthood involve getting tipsy and yelling at the debates.
At work today, I told a co-worker "I sure hope Hillary gets elected." She said, "If she's elected, I'm moving to Canada!"
Funny. I said the same thing when Dubya got "selected" the first time.
PS Join Hillary online tonight live at 7 pm Eastern:
