I'M SITTING HERE WATCHING THE DEBATES. AND HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS. I'm from Detroit area. For many years it has been racially divided. Only in the last few years have many neighborhoods become racially mixed. It is a good thing brought about many things including the sub-prime mess.
Just like the sub-prime mess good things sometimes come out of bad things. Just like this political mess we are in, something good is coming out of it. We are going to have somebody other than a white man in the white house or as a vice president. It is good for us as a nation.
Whether it is Obama, McCain, Palin or Biden it is a great thing. We are changing in the United States. We aren't going to have a non- good- ole-boy person in Washington. Whether we have a woman or a minority in Washington is one of the greatest things that we are witnessing in our lifetime.
We have witnessed the Berlin wall come down and we are now going to be witnessing another great barrier to come down. It is a great day, a great year for all of us.
Whoever wins, America wins. We are crossing race and gender barriers never known before. Let's hear it for America. It may be baby steps but slowly we are becoming a nation that all races, genders can reach their full potential.
Congratulations to all of us. Vote for who you like. God Bless America. God bless you and your family.

I am walking in the Tampa 3 day cancer walk in October. Support cancer research by going to www.the3day.org/goto/marianneravary and donate as much as you can. My wife got to live 20 years after finding out she had breast cancer due to advances in cancer treatment. Be part of the team and help me. I would like to be able to give some other "special lady" (like my wife Marianne) more days on this earth. If we can give another lady another night to enjoy with friends, an extra week to laugh & hug her kids, an extra month to love her spouse, or an extra year then our money will be going to a good cause. The grants from the Susan G Komen 3 day walk have been instrumental in cancer research. Help me give more time to somebody else please donate to the 3day walk. Thanks

Russ,
Absolutely. Where I live here in Renton (south Seattle) we are really multicultural which is great. Where I grew up in Eastern Washington we were all white. I will be glad in 4 more generations when we are all so mixed that you can't just put someone in a box or on a form as one thing or another. And you are quite right, it is a great changing time in our country. Just think how close we are to having a female president. Wow.
