I'm with you there.  I didn't vote for Obama either time: I don't like 
his politics.  I did pick that "time for a black man" as the silver 
lining for the cloud of his winning.  This time around I can stay a 
Republican, stay with most of my principles (there's nobody anywhere 
who's _exactly_ like me), AND get a real American black man to boot.  I 
will be happy to see a woman President, just as long as she's not 
Hillary (I'm not at all crazy about Carly, either, just that she'd be 
better than Trump or Cruz).

A lot of what I want in a President is CHARACTER, good intentions (and 
truthfulness) as well as general competence, and there aren't many in 
this election who have those.  I might, possibly, even vote for Bernie, 
but I don't think so, since I'm not for Socialism.  But I get the strong 
feeling that he does have the character and the competence.
