"When he or she becomes the president...."

Listen to the language changing. I heard the "he or she" in reference to the presidency again this morning on the radio, after hearing it yesterday on TV news.Also, the commentators are getting more consistent: I hear Hillary and and Barak, Senator Clinton and Senator Obama - the non-parallel use Hillary, Obama becoming less common.
I invite readers of the blog to write comments about the language usage as the election process unfolds.It is already showing that a woman being considered for the presidency can change the outlook of women and girls.
