Are Voters Ready For A Woman Or African American In The White House?
(CBS) CHICAGO -- Sen. Barack Obama's popularity is growing since he announced that he's exploring a presidential run. A new poll now has Obama leading Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.).
CBS 2 Political Editor Mike Flannery talks about the battle between senators Obama and Clinton with one of America's most distinguished historians.
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Garry Wills thinks Obama would be a good president, even though Wills has never met the senator.
He has met and says he likes Clinton, but although she has more of what Wills called “book experience,” he predicts Obama will ultimately garner more votes for president because of Obama's personality.
"They talk about 'judicial temperament ,' somebody who's able to weigh things fairly, I think he probably has that, perhaps more than she does," Will said. "She has, a reputation anyway, of having very strong emotional reactions to people."
Political consultant Eric Adelstein has worked with Clinton and has a different perspective.
“She's not someone ever to be underestimated. And I think whether you love her or hate her, she's someone who knows how to win,” Adelstein said.
After a lifetime studying America and American politics, Wills believes that Americans are more likely to elect an African-American president than a female president.
“In some ways, people are more afraid of feminism than of blacks,” Wills said.
Wills, a professor emeritus at Northwestern University, argues that in one form or another civil rights for blacks has been a political issue in America for two centuries. By contrast, he argues, feminism is much newer and the impact of its agenda affects men and women in much more intimate ways, some of them very unsettling.
Now, isn't that something?
LOL AT GRAPH!
He will be brought down.. and it will not be a Republican to do it.
Talk about a life in danger!
ROFLOL
Obama is the decoy to shore up the plantation votes for the eventual nominee, Hillary Rodham.
BOXER/Hillary! in 08!
I am ready for a woman or a black in the White House. Just not Clinton or Hussian.
If his madrassa classes aren't enough to scare the crap outta everyone then his SOCIALIST VOTING RECORD should!!
Well that's it then, let's skip the voting and proceed right to the coronation. Prize-winning putz Garry Wills hath spoken.
How about that--an empty suit leading an empty head. Can't wait for 2008! Not a dime's worth of difference between them, except one's better looking than the other, altho I'm not sure which.
We sometimes have to vote "the lesser of two evils", I suppose, but now this guy says we vote for the one we're least "afraid of".???????
The Clinton machine will destroy Osama. Hate to say it, but HRC will win the presidency in 08 by the Pubies splitting the ticket, just like her hubby in 92. This is her only shot at the presidency. She is 60 and the next time around, she will be 69.
Osama is 45 and has several election cyles to go through. Neither are any good. Just watch what these loons do during the next 2 years.
Or at least a reputation ;-)
The Clinton machine will destroy Osama.
Gee whiz, while I was predicting it, it had already happened!
Hillary's team has questions about Obama's Muslim background
