I’m sure you mean “from a major Party”…
There have been previous female candidates for President from minor parties.

Not to pick a nit, but you do need to fix the headline to include major party.

It means so much to my wife and me to share this living history with our little boy.

And so much for the future of his world – if we can keep the Madman from seizing it.

One poignant moment came when a 92-year-old Oklahoma woman announced her votes for Clinton, noting she was born before women were granted the right to vote.

Quick note: the 92-year-old Oklahoma woman was born in 1929, nine years after women won the right to vote. She even says it during her comments. Not to take away from the poignancy of the moment at all, but the story should be corrected (i.e., when I was in school pursuing my journalism degree, I’d have received an F if I’d made a mistake like this…I know journalism today isn’t what I was taught back in the late 80s/early 90s, but I expect better from TPM).
