What an amazing time in history!<BR/><BR/>I am glad for the clarity of stats like the ones you shared, but thank you for reminding us that eyes open quickly when we love particularly and personally, as you do your gorgeous niece.Mitali Perkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16081024119047826077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-90697241281248011702008-11-04T17:30:19.782-05:002008-11-04T17:30:19.782-05:00A wonderful post. Makes me wistful for life in Northern Virginia. Our daughter is Latina, and it is so wonderful to expand our horizons. Lets hope there are better words than minority and majority in this new millennium.Terryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06246198932357846984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-56960095050871388922008-11-04T17:05:24.109-05:002008-11-04T17:05:24.109-05:00Thanks for the lovely post! My family has been blessed with biracial cousins as well-their dad (my just about brother) is from Togo, and his wife's from Ohio. I will be voting in part for their kids, my nephews and niece.Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11835101886202235868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-19710288304950928962008-11-04T12:55:33.846-05:002008-11-04T12:55:33.846-05:00My husband and I adopted our daughter six years ago. She is African American and I am truly hoping that her very first memory of a president will be of a black man, with his beautiful wife and daughters in the White House!

You have to pick the one you think will be the best manager/leader, even if it means holding your nose when you pull the lever.Kelly Finemanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13382266400862288242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-45099699661664331242008-11-03T13:54:56.498-05:002008-11-03T13:54:56.498-05:00I love this post, MR.Alkelda the Gleefulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04733517166056974501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-19489237522335984432008-11-03T13:43:37.581-05:002008-11-03T13:43:37.581-05:00Oh, my GOSH, your girls.
