In her article called "Clinton’s Not the First" Pamela Gentry, BET News Posted Jan. 26, 2007, starts out by saying "I got an email the other day from a friend of mine who questioned the many references to Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) as the “first woman” to make a bid for the White House. “That doesn’t sound right,” his said. I assured him that the reason it didn’t sound right is because it’s dead wrong..."
Then if you can see your way through some really bad typos, you'll read in this article that Democrat Shirley Chisholm and independent Lenora Fulani also ran for President. Ok, that's good.
Then Ms. Gentry ends the article by saying "Now we know who ran first. What’s really important is who’ll win first."
Maybe -- but in a winner-take-all two-party duopoly, we all lose! But that's exactly what independents are trying to change.
