Today is indeed one of the single greatest moments in American history. God bless America.

While last night was a great moment, were not there yet. I am looking forward to when someone with a last name like Sanchez, Hernandez, Lopez, Gonzalez, Perez, or Rodriguez gets that opportunity as well. There was a rising star from San Antonio during the Clinton years who was a cabinet member, but, he got caught with his pants down with a woman other than his wife and has since faded away. Given the number of Hispanics continues to rise in the US, that opportunity will come sooner rather than later.
