Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton?
Just kidding. Kidding on the question part.
But if you're like me, you've heard and answered this question in the past 6 months: Who do you think has a better chance of winning if they run for president on the Democratic ticket? I've been going back and forth on this. I adore Hillary but does the rest of America? I get the feeling a huge contingent of people despise her. The question comes down to, is America ready for a president of color, or for a woman president? Or neither?
Oh, and tack on this interesting note. A friend recently noted among her conversations on this topic, people of color think America is ready for a woman president, and white folks think America is more ready for a president of color. Go figure.

I honestly don't think that I will see either of those in my lifetime.
I posted an article last week about how the better looking candidate usually wins. We are that shallow.
I think Barack has a better chance. I think people want a change, some new blood in the White House.
Setting my conservatism aside, I don't think either is a good choice. I would, however, welcome a good female or minority candidate.
Sadly, I can't think of a good candidate. period.
I don't think the conservatives want to see the name Clinton in the White House therefore I'd have to go with Obama. Personally, I fall into your friend's demographic, I like Obama.
I think America needs a purpletwinkie for President.
PurpleTwinkie for President and PattCake for Vice President. I always wanted to be called a Veep
hehe...
seriously I would vote for either one. Gladly.
Between the two, I'd pick Obama. Will he win? I don't know. But I sure hope he runs!
i love the fact that people are having serious dialogue about either but hopefully we will put our voting fingers where our mouths are :)
