40. Oh, I can't argue w/you about that. It's long past time. We're about the last First World nation...

we're about the only First World nation who hasn't elected a female to the top or second spot. But wanting to elect A woman or THIS woman does not equate to ANY woman. I wouldn't vote for someone because of gender. I'd take it into account. I don't see Harris as THE woman.

I remember Ferraro running on the ticket, and how most in the country (left and right) looked at her, not in a bad way, but as the oddity she was. Like she was some freak in a circus side show....a WOMAN on the ticket? Hey, look...she moves & talks like a male person! She's not trying to vacuum and dust everything on the stage!

I also liked that Hillary, and now Harris, wear PANTS! I'm old enough to remember female lawyers being kicked out of courts because the Judge wouldn't allow women to wear pants in his court. (We're talking Hillary & Harris nice business pants suits.)

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
