I can't help to think of how torn I still am between two democratic candidates. On Tuesday, I will need to make a decision - as an independent voting in Massachusetts I could vote for either party, but wouldn't miss the chance on voting for the first, African American or Female president.
They are both good candidates and we can debate on each others qualities, but when we just look at the possibility of making history - am I more incline to vote for a woman or do I stand by my ethnicity and support the candidate of hope?
Lately, I've asked myself this nagging question - Should Hillary have run in 2004? Would she had a better chance of getting elected than Kerry? Was it too soon? Maybe, but who could have thought Obama was around the corner? Did she miss her chance? Only time will tell. We are only in the primaries ...
It's all speculation at this point, but one thing is apparent to those who have voted so far, the Clintons are leaving the democratic party with a sour taste in their mouth. Some said that if Bill Clinton ran again, they would have voted for him - I wonder if they feel the same today after how he has been acting in the campaign trail.
Whatever does unfold this election year, it will sure go in the history books.
Does anyone feel the same during this election year?

I too was torn between HC & BO....I knew the race would come down to the two of them. I have finally and firmly made my decision as to who I am going to vote for. If only a Black, Latina was running...that would cover it all...she is of color and a woman and Latina!!!!!
Ethnicity to me is not really that important, but I do want a woman to win specially because Hillary can really do a great job as woman in power. If she doesn't win it will be hard to see another woman running for president because there are not that many willing to fight in a men's territory.
