What does the non-partisan majority of Ameria want more?
A black president or a female president?
Besides the issues, besides the personalities... which is the most appealling?
A morally significant and proportionally irrelevant percentage of any election is based on a sober and informed understanding of policy, a good part on personality, the rest on class.
But if America is a society is a society without class, where does it go?
I am sure there are some genuine sexists and racists, but they are pretty small voting force...
A few people will back whichever candidate on the basis of politics.
There is a big vote on personality... Obama the good guy vs Hillary the clever girl (and if you must add in McCain, the angry moralist)
The decision, I think will rest on whether the un-interested but voting majority back an earnest, decent and trustworthy black guy, or an upper class, ackward but bright white woman.
I suppose McCain could win, but then so could Nader or Ron Paul....
