They will want at least one white dude on the ticket just in case the Shiite hits the fan.Being both black and a female, I agree with your position. Voters in this country are not about to vote for a black guy and a woman 1) in the middle of a war, 2) together, without either a black or a woman having already been president.

I disagree. See my previous post -- I think a lot of the country is CLAMORING for a minority of some kind to be president. Me, I want a colorblind society, and what we need is the best person for the job regardless of race, but I think there are a LOT of people who would rather see a less-qualified minority/woman THAN a better-qualified white male. I KNOW that is how the MSM feels.

I think your comment is biased whether intended or unintended.
I think there are enough airheads in the Dimocrat party to help this guy go a long way.
If you are saying that my CWV(Common White Voter) thinking about Obama being a bleeding heart charlatan and an over the top liberal is biased then your are 100% correct but 100% wrong for intimating it is also racism.
As for voting for a black I have no qualms at all.
However, they should at least believe in America's true values.
If a worthy woman runs she will get my vote.
Why is it that many women and minorities have been duped by the MSM into believing that race and sex play bigger parts in politics than it really does?
This may be true in Liberals political thinking but not for most conservatives who vote generally on the agendas put forth by the candidates.
Your comment leads me to believe that you may have already jumped on Obama's bandwagon with out giving much thought to the things for which he really stands.
Just my opinion.
