I agree with you, Mel. As much as people like to believe that America is one gigantic melting pot where everyone is treated equally, it's still hard to imagine Middle America voting for a woman or minority to be President.
Just the things they bring up about Hillary & Obama prove that point. Hillary is too cold and Obama's name sounds too much like Osama. Crap like that is just used for distracting from the fact that some people don't like the idea of a woman or minority holding the highest position in the land. But those same people don't mind a cokehead, drunken retarded moron in the same position because he's a white male. Go figure.
