while i agree that Rubio is an up and coming potential

Cool. I hope they find a presidential candidate soon. 2012 will be here before we know it.

I'm not overly hung up about the gender or race of anyone. I tend to judge people on the content of their character - a very, very, very smart man advised we do that may years ago.


Governor of New Mexico: Susana Martinez. The first Republican, female, Hispanic Governor in the history of our country. I think that's kind of noteworthy.

No, it doesn't. Both are statements of fact. Personally, I vote on the individual... except for this election. This time I voted against the Democrats. Just for the crack of it.
