We're Not Interested in "The First"

it seems people are pushing this "First" thing:
former gov. mario cuomo doesn't think it matters, clinton or obama, whatever. these are people stuck in old politics:
``It would be ruinous to the Democrats to get to the convention without an arrangement of some kind,'' Cuomo said in an interview on Bloomberg Television's ``Political Capital with Al Hunt,'' scheduled to air today.
A ticket with one of the candidates running as vice president would give the public a chance to elect the first woman president and the first African-American president regardless of who is at the top of the ticket, Cuomo said.
Either Obama, 46, or Clinton, 60, could serve two terms as vice president and then run for president.
``Most people say that's improbable, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be the best solution,'' Cuomo said. ``And it occurs to me that you could make a ticket almost either way, with Hillary on top or Obama on top.''
you know, mr. cuomo, we're not interested in "The First" anything. i guess we all look stupid out here. but we're not. we want the best. we want a change. we want someone who can lead the nation in a better direction, regardless of race, regardless of gender. there are obviously exceptions, but i think for most obama supporters, we could care less that he's "The First" black president.
give it rest already. geez.
