He's lived in Hawaii and Indonesia. He represents America in a new way-- he represents our diversity. Still, I admit that the prospect of his victory is thrilling me-- because black kids can wake up and dream that they will be president some day. We are moving beyond our racist roots-- and I am very proud of Americans.</p><p> Still remember when whites doubted a black man was smart enough to be a team quarterback!</p><p>(I would have also been thrilled if Hillary won- tho that is not why I voted for her in the primary)</p>kritt11Thu, 16 Oct 2008 01:22:22 -0000http://themoderatevoice.com/at-tmv/newsweek-blogitics/23526/voting-in-the-blount-county-courthouse/#comment-3084232<p>Very well-written!</p>GeorgeSorwellThu, 16 Oct 2008 00:36:12 -0000http://themoderatevoice.com/at-tmv/newsweek-blogitics/23526/voting-in-the-blount-county-courthouse/#comment-3078466<p>Although it doesn't matter to me either way, I think it would be an even more compelling story if he was the descendents of slaves.
