Interesting Twist
So the biracial guy (I'm sick of everyone saying Obama is black, yet equally annoyed at hearing people qualify that he's only half black. He's as white as he is black.) chose a Kennedy-esque (0bviously white) guy instead of the white woman some of us hoped for, while the old white guy chose a woman.
From the little I've read so far of Sarah Palin, she seems like a steamroller. If nothing else, this will be interesting.
Was I just too young to realize it, or did we not care quite as much about elections in the eighties?

I am not sure if the VP candidates being females is very much relevant. I am more concerned about their politics.
Mrs. Palin is very right-leaning in her politics. While she may be female, many of her ideas are actually AGAINST female rights, at least as far as female rights that are important to many of the Democratic and/or more left-leaning Hilary supporters.
Sure, it would be nice to have a female for the first time in a position of great power, but we must also make sure she is the right person for the job. If we are only to judge her for her gender, then we are doing the same thing (sexism) we are complaining against.
Palin is a creationist... that in and of itself makes her completely fucking retarded. I mean, come on now.
If I were a Republican, I would be even more offended by McCain's choice than I already am. My vagina does not need pandering to and at this point, my vagina is offended.
Oh Green, please not you. He is black. He is ALSO half black, half white. If he says he's black, he's black.
Don't anyone tell me I'm not Asian. I am half Asian, half white. I am not white.
