Everyone is so afraid of being branded with the career-killing Scarlet “R”, that no one wants to accidently cross the line.

I think the same thing happened when Margaret Thatcher ran as the first woman Prime Minister of Great Britain.

As time went on though, they got used to her and attacked her like everyone else.

I think the election of Obama will be kind of like losing your virginity:

Before it happens, you talk about it a lot. The first time you do it, you fumble around not really knowing what you’re doing. In the end, you realize that you should have done it sooner.

I think we’ll know that we’ve made a step forward once they feel free to make jokes on him like everyone else.
