I agree. As much as I like the idea of an African American or woman (anyone other than Hillary) president, it won't happen in our lifetime.

If you live on either coast then you are probably not aware of this terrible fact. But a majority of this country's citizens are bigoted rednecks who would never vote for any minority.

There is a reason why most of our recent presidents have been from the South... Carter, Bush, Clinton, Bush (Reagan being the exception). Even Kennedy chose an overwhelmingly popular Texas Congressman to be his running mate or otherwise he probably wouldn't have been elected.

I almost wish the south would secede again... as long as the Union got to keep a few nice warm parts. We could get the west coast, the north-east and a few cool states in the middle like MN, IL, WI. The Confederacy could keep the garbage states in the middle and the south. They would sink into a massive hole of ignorance. And we could get on with making the world a better, more enlightened place.
