Something that is missing here is the obvious. No woman president in the USA, yet. Geraldine Ferraro was the first woman nominated by either the Democract or Republican Party for Vice President. She ran with Mondale. The year was 1984, the Democractic Convention was at Moscone Center in San Francisco. I was in town with the Stone Wall Democratic Club from Los Angeles. We were young and so full of hope and idealistic.

Now I am older, still working and hoping to see a woman elected as the President of the USA. Am I still idealistic? I'm trying to be.

Nope... it WILL happen! This made me think of Shirley Chisholm... the first black woman elected to Congress in 1972, and the first major-party black candidate for President of the United States and the first woman to run for the Democratic presidential nomination (Margaret Chase Smith Republican presidential nomination, previously).

Not until Hillary Clinton's bid in 2008 has there been a major-party candidate for president! All those years in between!
