I probably won't vote for either of them,
although I'm not sure right now. But both have to be considered long shots to win the presidency. Americans don't have a great history of electing either women or African-Americans with Islamic-sounding surnames to be president. Clinton has long had stratsopheric negatives. A poll back in the summer found over 50% of people saying they would never vote for her, and Republicans have long said they'd prefer to have her to run against. As to Obama, he's African-American with next to no experience.
You'd think after 8 years of Bush/Cheney that the Dems would have a cakewalk, but it doesn't look like it.
