Quick Commentary on the Presidential elections

Call me a sucker but this little fishy is biting.
I am finally interested in the presidential elections! Up to now I was disheartened by the politics as usual banter and felt that for the first time in a long time I had no real interest in the outcome. But then it hit me like a bolt of lightening out of a bright blue sky, we are witnessing a historical event of enormous proportions, something which we haven't seen the likes of in over 50 years (which I wasn't around for). Since African Americans were granted the right to vote almost 50 years ago the political playing field has continued to be "business as usual" but now we have two of the strongest "minorities" represented in the presidential ballot. For years women and African Americans have struggled to attain proper representation in the White House and now we are given the choice of one or the other and yet people are still uninterested?
America's apathy is getting on my nerves!
