The 2008 election marks a milestone in history - minorities are running for presidency. There's the woman - Hillary Clinton, and the African-American - Barack Obama. We have never had a woman or a minority in office. Is America ready for it? Or should things stay the way they have been? Some argue that if a woman is president, then other countries - specifically those that look down on women - will lose respect for America. Others argue that it's about time for some major changes; we need reform!

It seems that whether or not Americans are ready for a minority president, they're going to be forced into it. The chances of a Republican getting elected are pretty low, even when the only other options are historically inconsistent with other presidents. Out of the top contenders, John Edwards is the only one whom I would consider... competition... for lack of a better word.
