History in the Making

How interesting! Cynthia McKinney just chose Rosa Clemente as her running mate for the 2008 Presidential race. Her selection has created the first all-women-of-color presidential ticket in America's history. This presidential race is truly historic! I wonder if all those Hillary supporters who seemed to only be voting Democrat because they wanted a woman to win will cast their vote for the Green party.
Here's a link to an interview with McKinney and Clemente about the race:

Well, these are exciting times, to say the least. I agree that this two party system is not working. In local elections, I have found myself leaving boxes unchecked because I couldn't bring myself to vote for either candidate. We need more options. I can't say that I'm giving my presidential vote to the Green Party, but I like their thinking in some ways.
