I honestly don’t think that this country is ready for a black man to be president. If you live in areas like SD, LA, SF, NY, etc. sure there seem to be a lot of people who are not racist or chauvinist, but the people who always turn up to vote the most are in the southern states. They are more into politics than the “whatever dude, whoever is president doesn’t matter” crowds in cities like SD.
If you’ve been in the south lately, you’ll know what I mean. I don’t even think this country is ready for a woman to be president, but IMO she’d stand a better chance than a black man.
This fact scares me to think that we’ll end up getting whoever else is left once you’ve eliminated the impossible. If we end up with another born-again, evangelical, or other superstitious president it will make the GW Bush years look like an era of enlightenment and truth.
