Historic 2008 Presidential Campaign
The 2008 Presidential Campaign is making history. For the first time we have both a woman and an African American Running serious and successful campaigns. The Democratic party is on the cusp of breaking down the last bastion of "Good Old Boy" mentality. Okay I know John Edwards is in the campaign. Thus far Edwards has honestly been nothing more than an "Oh you're running too" The Campaign thus far has been Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. With Monday's debate in South Carolina, it seems the gloves are coming off between these two. That could just be the opening that Edwards needs to advance his campaign and secure the nomination. Which means America, for all of it's talk of equality would remain a "Good Old Boy" nation. Obama or Clinton securing the nomination of the Democratic party would shatter the glass ceiling now in place. Thus far women and blacks have been running on third party tickets and it was simply a case of humoring them. "Let them run, we know they won't win. Only a republican or a Democrat wins the big one". Many countries including so called third-world countries have elected women to the highest position in their land The late Ms Bhutto was a former Prime Minister and was in the running to be elected again before her assassination. Margaret Thatcher held the PM post in Great Britain.
Nelson Mandela, an ex-convict under the system of apartheid in South Africa was elected immediately after apartheid was ended. In America, Both women and blacks had to fight for the right to vote. Since then we have been allowed to vote but never has either group had a candidate step up and be taken seriously as both Clinton and Obama have. If they can refrain from letting there campaigns degenerate into mudslinging free-for-alls, 2008 could just see a white house headed by a woman or an African American. |
