34. The media is obsessed with the "first female president" meme

Sat Mar 1, 2014, 02:47 PM

Mar 2014

They chased their tails in '08 because they could never decide which excited them the most..... first black or first woman.

It's as if they have already chosen the "next great thing"..

People forget how fickle polls are and how wrong they often are.

Back in Dec 2007 it was supposed to be a knockdown-brawl between Hillary & 911iani..

Joe Biden will be one of thew very few veeps who does not benefit (in the polls) from being a two termer in a clean admin.
