Here we go again...
"Sen. Barack Obama has had the most trouble winning support of older and rural voters, according to polls. In Cherokee, one Clinton precinct captain who asked that her name not be used questioned his prospects: “We’ve got to keep an eye on electability,” she said. “Is America ready for a black president?”

5. I don't remember Hillary saying that
Edited on Mon Dec-31-07 12:45 PM by KennedyGuy
Besides what part of the question is wrong?
Is Obama Black?
Can the question be asked?
Personally, I don't care a fig about his color...but his lack of experience..
Isn't the same question being asked about Hillary?
Is America ready for a woman president?
I don't think its racist or sexist to ask either..
I happen to be Gay..and if I were running, I'd have no problem with people asking "Is America ready for a Gay President"?
Instead of being outraged..I'd have an answer for the question..

2. Did that woman stop and think . . .
Is America ready for a female President?


Maybe I should figure out a sig line that reads: Edwards Supporter but?

If he gets hit by a train tomorrow I'm voting for Obama. And I'm praying Obama is the Veep Candidate.

Those two would be UNSTOPPABLE in November.

That woman needs to go hang.

4. If this came from the Obama camp re: a woman president...
there would be cries of misogyny echoing from the rooftops.
