I agree with you completely. They never expected a person of color could get elected and they looked around and saw that people of color were working their way up and even dominating some fields, like medicine and sports. I did not understand that where I saw something wonderful some of my friends and co-workers (predominantly male and white) saw a threat to their way of life. As for Hillary, well my co-workers in VA were largely white women that voted for sweet Laura Bush instead of that haughty french woman. I almost fell out of my chair the first time I was told that. They didn't care about the Iraq war at all and that Republicans had fabricated a reason to invade. Heavens no. And the men thought Kerry was unacceptable because he had experienced war and said WTF while Cheney couldn't wait to invade Iraq on behalf of Haliburton. Go figure. Did you read the NYT opinion piece on what Republicans think is a lie? If it weren't true. It would be funny.
