Exactly! I still don't know who I'm voting for because I'm choosing the lesser of more than two evils in both parties to narrow my November vote down to the lesser of two evils. America's not even radical enough to get away from a two-party system. So how radical can our country be to get ready for a minority president? It's definitely time for a change, but I don't think the real change will begin until the elections of 2012.

So simply put, no, we're not ready. It would be great to see it happen, but I don't see it happening in '08.

^^^ I still haven't made up my mind on who I am going to vote for either. Right now, my vote could go to EITHER one of the two parties. My decision will not be based on race or gender; it will be based on who I think could possibly get the job done.
