Me likee.

Compared to most people, I give very little consideration to gender and racial differences. But your country's presidential election campaign this year is demonstrating that racial and gender barriers at the highest levels are breaking down. I believe that it's the trickle-down effect in people's attitudes that will be the real accomplishment.

There are really no racial and gender barriers, just political and personal ones. The "race card" and "gender card" are just political tools to leverage votes. Obama was rammed through the corrupt Chicago/Illinois Democratic political machines and decided to run for president before he had any legislative accomplishments.

I like Gov. Palin because she's more of my brand of Conservative than Sen. McCain, who also happens to be my Senator. I didn't vote for him in the Arizona election (went Libertarian) though I like him personally, but I'll vote for him in the Presidential because the alternative is too repulsive to consider.
