Just that it is a shame that it is the the first time that candidates with a realistic chance of the presidency from two different obviously under represented groups (in historical presidential terms) should be simultaneously trying to make that breakthrough.
why? it's not surprising. women and blacks have kind of always been competing for representation. women were very close to getting the vote in the late 1800s and they gave it to blacks instead. great that they got it, sucks we didn't get it too. of course, they didn't really get the vote yet. that's how it goes. i think it's great that they're going for it at the same time. it should be even more apparent whether we're ready for this. and by this i mean to vote for people based on their qualifications and policy. of course, we don't vote for white men based on qualifications and policy, either, so i don't know what i'm expecting.
Who was the fist woman candidate
women presidential and vice presidential candidates in us history.
there have been 34 runnings of women in elections for president. a few of these are repeats.
has any woman ever had a real chance at winning previously?
depends on what you mean by "real chance". as far as i know, none has ever gotten a party nomination. but this isn't something i'm overly aware of.
