Racism, Ageism, Sexism, and Religiousism...

What a monumental election cycle!! To be able to tackle so many diverse issues all at the same time! We got to see a slew of "isms" all come to the forefront via our presidential candidates. We had a Woman candidate and a Mormon candidate. We have an African American candidate and an Old Man candidate. How exciting!

I think that they have each handled their respective "ism" with grace and dignity and have really been able to open the issues up for more honest discussion.

Contrary to the title of this blog, I want to hear "your thoughts" on these issues related to the presidential race. Were you moved by Obama's speech on race? or by Romney's speech on religion and patriotism? (If you find anywhere McCain talking about his age, let me know)

I really liked Obama's speech, but didn't pay as much attention to Romney's speech. I like how you called McCain the "Old Man candidate"! Now we just need an old, black Mormon woman to run for president to challenge all of the "isms"!!!
