Hillary has helped women get further in politics

Hillary Clinton won’t become the next presidential candidate but no one should discount what she has achieved. The Democrats have opened this level of politics to women and minorities. For Clinton to have gotten the nomination is a great first step and I never would have expected that she would win the nomination that AND then become president. The women that follow her footsteps will be more likely to achieve the nomination, the women after them more likely to win the presidency. The public needs to see it in small doses to get comfortable with the idea of a woman running the country. Given that the public will want a different party in the White House, Barack Obama has a good chance of winning the election. If this was a year when there was peace, a good economy, and a good housing market, the comfortable choice would be John McCain.
