"I think -- I think as well today of two other women who came before me in national elections. I can't begin this great effort without honoring the achievements of Geraldine Ferraro in 1984 and of course Senator Hillary Clinton, who showed such determination and grace in her presidential campaign. It was rightly noted in Denver this week that Hillary left 18 million cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America but it turns out the women of America aren't finished yet and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all."

It is like the script for a wacky comedy. One that wouldn’t get made only because it is too unlikely. The old guy croaks and all the nukes, the aircraft carriers, the worlds largest economy fall into the hands of a beauty queen sports reporter.
