30. Sort of like the Dems did when they ran Kennedy
although the conventional wisdom was that, given the rampant prejudice in America, there was no WAY a Catholic could be elected President.
But he and the party faced the prejudice head on, stared it down and worked like hell to get more votes.
And like Lyndon Johnson did when he nominated Thurgood Marshall to the U.S. Supreme Court when Blacks still couldn't vote in many states. He just did it and America got over it and did just fine.
We don't get anywhere by patiently waiting for America to get over itself. Some things just have to be done.
