Simply that Americans fear a black president less than a woman president.
Obama is clearly the weaker candidate, yet he won.
How else would you explain it?

He was not the weaker candidate. He is not only Black; he is biracial. The voters are not voting for or against women or Blacks in the Democratic contests. They are voting for change rather than experience. They are voting for eloquence and rhetoric over same-same politicians. They may be voting against a First Husband they think had his 8 years already. Do you think Barney Frank can win Teddy's seat in the Senate?

If I wanted Obama talking points I would have gone to obama.com! Pure propaganda. Obama is in deep doo doo. Look at the vote in West Virginia and Kentucky after he already won. McCain will be getting Hillary's base.


Sure Frank can win anything in Massachusetts.

TQ, I was not trying to use talking points for the candidate. I do think Obama is perceived as 100% Black. Hilary had her bad points, and seems certain to lose the nomination.

Senator Barney. Senator Frank. The first openly gay US Senator?
