Democracy is being put to its test and it's actually falling on us as everyone has pointed out.

Women fought to have the right to vote, and Justice Ginsburg used the law to make sure that women had equal rights. John Lewis fought to have the right to vote.

But I will say this. That either one of them, Senator Obama or Senator Clinton, would be much better for this country than Senator McCain.
