making history

An interesting article from alternet.org on Obama and Clinton's somewhat historic campaigns.

http://alternet.org/election08/73436/

What do you guys thing about supporting a candidate based on their race/gender/religion/ethnicity/etc? The author of the article makes some interesting points, check it out.

P.S. He mentions Shirley Chisholm, who was actually a really awesome woman--She was the first black female candidate for president back in the 70s. (but she unfortunately didn't get the nomination) If you don't know much about her campaign, check her out, there are a couple of really good documentaries out there on her.
