same thing happened in my hometown ..
a kid in highschool ran for mayor and won. (he didnt win insomuch as the old mayor lost - a dog could have run against him and won)
Thing is he approached it with interest - learned a lot and did a good job.
as far as the US elections go - if nothing else comes of this - it at least showed that the USA has made some progress finally - where a black man could even be considered to run for president.
there are many people alive today who never could have believed this possible in their lifetime. (both blacks and old racist crackers alike)
But to have had a woman AND a black man running at one time ? thats really something else.
shows there might be some hope for the future after all ... because as recent history shows, rich old crazy white men haven't been that great for the country as of late.
