What is good about this country

Despite our various political affiliations and views this has already been a truly historic election season. The Democratic nominee is an African American. The close second for the Democratic nomination was a woman. Lastly, from what I have read and heard Joe Lieberman a Jew is still in the running for the veep stakes and has been given a long hard look by McCain. Ultimately though I feel that because of Lieberman's Democratic roots and the fact it would not be looked upon favorably by the staunch conservatives this will not occur. Nonetheless this is all remarkable and indicative of how far this country has come.
