In the March 6, 2008, edition of the San Diego Union Tribune newspaper, creative political cartoonist Steve Breen depicted a Campaign Bus, with Hillary Clinton standing in the stairwell and saying to Barack Obama, who is approaching, "Let's share the ticket! Of course I will sit at the front of the campaign bus."
The subsequent Letters to the Editor all struck a racist undertone, and claimed it to be an insult to both.
Dumb me. I thought this country was way past all of that. What a clever cartoon, Breen was saying, "Let's share the Democratic ticket. Of course I'll be the president and you'll be the vice-president." Isn't that what this race is all about?
