I can totally get wanting to vote for Obama because he's black. I would be stoked to see a black president. Even a woman president. But moreover I want the right person for the job regardless of race or sex. Unforunately I know that's not Clinton and not too sure if it's Obama.
The reason I'd like to see a non-white male in the White House is it would hopefully change a lot of stereotypes and maybe ease the racial divide. Of course it would probably worsen in some areas too. Who knows.
I'm just kind of not impressed with the potential democratic nominees. If the primaries were tomorrow I think I'd vote for McCain if/when he runs.
