I don't think the country will ever be ready for a black or woman president. I don't think the South was ready to give up segregation. It will never happen once the country is ready. When it happens, it will happen and the country will have to deal.

Obama IMO is the best candidate running, and has even slightly penetrated my cynicism.
He is well aware of the Clintons tactics, and I think he did a decent job defending himself, but not as good a job as he could've, and didn't go on the offensive enough. I think the Clintons are pushing a little too hard, and the media constantly talking about it could backfire a bit.


I don't think he has skeletons in his closet, or at least any big ones. His biggest problem is that he hasn't voted on much. He doesn't have a long Senate record, and I didn't care much about his state record. He is a big threat to the Republicans, bigger than Hillary because he will be hard to 'Swift boat'.
