Obama rules.

I'm down for Obama, always have been. He's the best Dem running. I still am not quite sure which Rep I like best. My boyfriend was watching the polls the other night and he's for Obama. He has already decided he's voting for Obama so he's emotionally invested in the election already. I have yet to remain faithful to one candidate. The polls he saw on TV showed Shrillery beating Obama and the boyfriend was pissed. His thought was that people are still so racist in this country they'd rather see a woman president than a black man. He might just have a point there.

But Obama was working the black angle pretty hard by appearing at MLK's church. Shrill can go to a black church to speak and she did--in Harlem. But to me, Obama clearly wins this political move of making the most of the holiday. It works in the same way that she can snivel on TV about how she had big plans for this country, but if Obama sniveled on TV, his career would be over. She gets to work the femininity angle like that.

But which angle will go farther in the election? If you just take a look at what takes a person farther in life (or what holds a person back) which is the bigger factor? Race or gender?
