Sadly, it has come down to race and gender. Obama is not the first African American to take a run at this and I don't know whether Hillary is the first woman to do so but for some reason that is all that some people see.
I too was alarmed at the high percentage of African American votes for Obama.
You can now expect there to be a White backlash in favour of Hillary and   that is no less discriminatory than Mr. Obama's votes.
What a sad statement that in 2008 people can not see past race & gender.

We may not be but there are those who are counting on it.
