Will Obama's race or Hillary's gender work against them this election? More specifically, is America willing to elect a black man or a female? If either of these two secure the presidency, it will be groundbreaking in one of these regards. If either of these are a factor, which do you feel will prove to be a greater advantage/disadvantage throughout the rest of the primaries?
Considering the fact that the top two democratic contenders for the presidency are, for lack of a clearer explanation, NOT white men, will this work against/in favor of the democrats in the main election?
