Back in college I did a study on American views for a media class. It was during election time and numerous reports stated that American citizens preferred married, white, Christian (protestants held the number one spot) men who had served some time in a branch of the US Military. That was about 6 years ago - are we ready to change those views?
As many know, Hilary Clinton has decided to run for the Democratic party and also Barack Obama from Illinois. I think both are viable candidates and I believe they should run together. But then, we'll change years and years of history with just the coloring in of an arrow or the punching of a chit. Not only will it be the first female in office, but also the first African American.
All I have to say to this is that I think it might be time, if we stick with what was bargained for six years ago, we get George W. it's time for some Democratic change!

They will never run together, it just isn't in the nature of politics. When you get to the uppermost levels, you don't team up with people who siphon off your spotlight. That goes in both directions, I don't think either of the two would take the other as a vp running mate. Presidential candidates select on the basis of who will tow their line and deliver strength on any perceived weaknesses.
I just started to get in to politics - I had no clue. Thanks anonymous!
Haha, politics is an ever shifting field, I would never say it was impossible. It's just not likely. The type of personality that thinks they would be the best person to run the most powerful government in the world is by necessity not one who wants a second opinion riding shotgun. Likely with either one would be a white, relatively moderate southern Democrat who's views on all the winners key issues line up exactly.
Definitely time for change.
