Does Obama have a chance?

Of course, you also have the "I ain't votin' for no sand-lot *racial epithet here*" crowd who may very well fuck over Obama no matter how much of an attractive choice he is.

I agree with you. I don't think that neither Hilary or Obama has a chance because A) she's a woman and B) he's african american. They would get wiped out so fast, and we would expect it to happen. I don't think that America is ready for such a radical change. Also, I think Obama should have tried smaller. I'm from Illinois and I think he should have maybe taken on Mayor Dayley (although I don't know how smart that would be considering that he's involved with the mob and probably would have Obama knocked off)
Even though I feel this way, I think I might still vote for either one of them, but thats a hard choice cause not only am I a woman, but I'm a black woman. It depends on their campaigns...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks for posting that article. I didn't know that Daley was endorsing him for the 2008 elections. Do you know why he's remained neutral until this election?

As far as I know, the first African American woman to win an Oscar was Charlize Theron because she's actually from South Africa.



Why should you being a woman, or a black woman make a difference at all? Why not just listen to all the candidates, and pick the person who you think will be best suited for the job?

I don't know why we're considered African American's either (my father was white and my mother was black) it's just how things are I guess, and I figure "African American" is better than saying black americans or colored americans.


I am going to listen to the candidates, it's just in my community it's either you see yourself as a woman first, or you see your race comes first (although I have established that I'm mixed). I dunno how it is everywhere else.

How ya doing, buddy?
