On the Cusp of History

We are on the cusp of an American, historical political change. As seniors, many of us never thought we would see this in our lifetime. This year we will elect the first African American--a male--as president of the United States of America OR the first white female as vice president. Our country has always elected white males to these two top positions.
The political campaigns of both major parties have called for "change." Some governmental changes have included the introduction of females and African American males to the Supreme Court. We have seen women and minorities become city council members, mayors and state governors. Other occupations previously closed to women are now commonly held by women. Police chiefs, bus drivers, construction workers and electricians may be female. But this year's political change is significantly different.
An African American male as a Democratic president or a white female as a Republican vice president. Which ticket will I choose? Hmmm. It's called a secret ballot for a reason.
Don't forget to vote?
