Is that correct?

Did Elizabeth Dole win any in 2000?

8. What is amazing is that the MSM has not made it a big deal at all.
I guess it speaks volumes about us when it is such headline news when a black reaches this milestone and when a woman does it, it's not even mentioned by them.

9. That's true! I'm an Obama supporter, but this is an historic night
I'm just surprised nobody has started a thread questioning what kind of voting machines they use in New Hampshire. Sometimes polls can be wrong and it not be fixed! :)

10. I didn't even think about that until now!
Yet another reason to be glad. My heart is very full of the beauty of female potential. Can't help it; the girl can't help it!!!

a single pundit. Congrats to Hillary Clinton on this historic night!
