Ferraro today made commments which suggest that if Obama was a white person or a woman of any color, that he would not be the current nominee. Personally, I am not a big fan of a Obama, and I don't personally get why people are so excited about him. He's way to inexperienced to be President, and so much of what he says is empty rhetoric. What I find most annoying is when Obama complains about Washington, inspite of the fact he's personally been a Washington Insider for four years. Of course that's politics.
Still, I don't think Obama is just where he is because he's black. That does the man a serious disservice. I'm not saying that being black doesn't help him get some votes, but Obama would not be winning the nomination on black votes alone. Remember Jessie Jackson. Obama is where he is because he's an incredible charismatic speaker whom people relate too. They like the fact that Obama is positive, and he runs on hope rather than tearing other cannidates down.
I also think part of the problem is Hilary has never been that popular, with the voters. She's always been a polarizing figure, and people are also just sick of the Clintons and the Bushes.
Still way to go Ferraro like you would have been Mondale's nominee if you weren't a woman.
