Americans more ready for a black president than a woman?
A new poll says yes -- as if the sexist attacks on Hillary Clinton hadn't already confirmed it.
Joan Walsh [2008-04-05]

  • Fool's Gold

    Barack is leading not because he is black (are you people brain dead) but because he is brilliant and inspiring.

    So many women are projecting THEIR prejudices on this campaign. Oh, they're being mean to Hillary. Oh they ask her the first question. Or as Bill says, they're ganging up on a girl.

    But when women obsess about women, they are being prejudiced in the same way they claim men are sexist.

    -- PoliticalRealist

    What Bill says is true...that is how Hillary won in 2000 in New York. Women do not cotton to men beating up on them. It is a fact. Obama's skin color is irrelevant...he is a MAN.

    On your alleged claim of Obama's brilliance and alleged inspiration: like many an Obamabot, you have fallen for fool's gold. To use another appropiate cliche, all that glitters is not gold...Obama may certainly glitter (superficially), but he sure as hell ain't gold...

    On the obsessive claim: who's obsessing? Could it be YOU?
