Who will get less votes: A woman or a black man, whose name sounds too much like Osama?

Unfortunately, as much as I hope that 2008 will be the year where America's basketball team will finally win the ******* gold medal at the Olympics, and where America will finally have a black president, Obama will get less votes. It's not that America is racist, it's just that America isn't ready for an African-American, or any minority, president. It's just a problem.

I would have no trouble voting for a woman, or a black person based on either of those facts alone. Personally, I don't care for either of their 'politics', but would consider positions on issues as they emerge. Alas, all of the principles espoused by either {political} party seem hollow at best. I'd to see proof of thought and guiding beliefs, etc. and I generally don't. I think Hillary has so much name recognition she will hard to beat, unless she really 'falls out' I don't see how she wouldn't be the candidate.

Only one of them will get the Democratic nomination so there is no race. One will get a lot of votes and one won't be running.
I only pray that America has gotten past the prejudice of voting against a woman, race of a candidate and religious affiliation (unless touted by the candidate).
What a victory if voters actually voted for who was best qualified to run our country.
Is this too much to ask?

Obama will get less votes for sure because about 20% of the american voters are blacks (advantage Obama), while about 50% are women (advantage Hillary). But, half of the blacks support Hillary (advanatge Hillary again).

Hillary-too polarizing and people are fogetting about the Indpenedents. They will be more likely to vote for Obama, which sways the primaries in his general direction.

if you are talking about the PRIMARIES, set to start next month, I have this feeling BOTH will fail and Al Gore will jump back in. After all, he WON the popular vote in 2000 and is at least "electable"...clearly no other Dem / Libs are electable. The Republicans WANT to run against Hillarious, like they WANTED to run against McGovern in 1972--Nixon CLOBBERED HIM.

Whichever one is less competent (namely Hillary) should get less votes.
But who am I kidding, right? Every old lady and soccer mom in the country is gonna vote for Hillary.

I think Obama has what it takes to beat Hilary, however, I hope Joe Biden really steps it up as far as campaigning goes. He is one great man!
