Yes I know - of course she voted for Obama, blah blah blah. STILL - how amazing it must be for this woman to see such progress in her nation. The daughter of a slave... when less than 50 years ago she had to pay a hefty fee to vote (literally)... now she is actually voting for an African American presidential nominee. How cool it must be for her!

Daughter of a slave? Who else would she vote for?
she won't have to live with the consequences of her vote.
Yep Obama will set this country back 50 years my Uncle who was in special forces that trained the Montyards in NAM said yesterday .
has a tingle going up his leg.
I can't imagine how she must feel to have the chance to cast a vote that symbolizes equality after experiencing being a third class person most of her life. It must be a feeling of true joy.
Good for her!!
