Both of these statements are completely untrue.

People will go out of their way not to vote for Obama just b/c he's black and same with Palin b/c she's a woman. Just because they don't make a racial/sexist slur doesn't mean they aren't racist or sexist.

Plenty of people use the excuse of lack of expericence for Obama when in reality it's because he's black. They just don't want to appear ignorant/racist so they find another reason..

They'll do the same for her.. although I'm really not sure she's got a lot going for her regardless of her gender.
