I would love to see a woman as president! And someone like Warren would set a fine example for women to follow in the future for that office too. I think that's very important. Some are questioning Obama's progressive commitments. I hope that doesn't hurt future candidates of color running that takes away from their chance to win if they are true progressives. It almost felt like we were handed a choice between a woman and a man of color by corporate America who felt that they were both centrist enough to fend off someone that might have true progressive ideals that could have been elected instead against their interests. I wonder if John Edwards was depicted as that third choice by them, when they knew in advance of his skeletons so that they could "turn him off" any time they wanted to during the campaign.
