And i'm not talking about the big cities where liberals are, i'm talking about where most of the voters are: in middle America and such.

No one is ready for change. By definition "change" is the alteration of the status quo and most people are very uncomfortable with that. Was America ready for the Abolition of slavery? you fought a very long and bloody civil war over that issue so I'd say no. But you survived... and for the better. Was Europe ready for the world to be round and the sun the centre of the solar system? Considering the tens of thousands burned at the stake over that contentious issue its also safe to say no. But they survived... and for the better. You may not be ready for a black president but you just might get one. And guess what? You'll survive... and for the better

Could care less about color anymore...its puerile. Just looking for the best man or woman for the job. Sorry though I could not endorse Condi Rice. She is an excellent follower meaning she brings Bush's words and thoughts to the forefront as though they are hers. Except I really don't know what she herself thinks about any issue, at all.
(btw - what you really meant to ask was whether "the United States was ready to have a non-white male president." not America! If it was up to the continent of "America" we'd have more Chavez's and other people of color running things..
(thus, people of color might not be such a bad idea)

maybe. I think if it comes down to it, these places will be the deciding factor. I can see the right states-especially the south- voting NO and the blue states- especially the palces like cali, east coast, wis, ect- voting YES.
I think the other states in the middle will can go either way

Nope, and if the Dems are serious about winning the White House, they'd better come up with some credible options other than Obama and Clinton.
Sounds bad, but that's politics.

nicely, based on the primaries, people do not look too squeamish approximately the two one. i in my view vote for somebody. If that person happens to be black or woman, than positive. If not, it wasn't because of fact they have been black or woman, it replaced into because of fact i presumed the different candidate had extra advantageous suggestions on working a rustic. i think of dissimilar people sense that way.

I believe that America is ready to have a competent administration regardless of gender and ethnicity.

No not likely. Especially someone with very little experience. Alot of places would not except it and would not vote for them. They would not have a chance with the Souths vote.

Our best candidate that is actually diverse is Condoleezza (and she is not on the ballot), Obama lacks experience and Hillary... well is Hillary. Personally, I don't care what color or gender they are, as long as they can uphold America in difficult situations and serve our country well.

Not unless it's Colin Powell. Seriously.
I don't think we're ready this time, maybe in 2012.
