My guess is that it will be Howard v Latham 04. He'll make another dumb-ass announcement about bombing Pakistan or, more likely, some cock-up on how to deal with the recession. People will realise that his just an arrogant one term senator who couldnt possibly deal with pressing global economic, security and climate threats with any warranted confidence.
I dont care what the pundits say, he WOULD never be there if it weren't for his colour. Hillary is where she is DESPITE the phenomonal barriers against smart, capable women in American politics/society

Absolutely.SashatheMan said:Wasn't the original problem with America is that they are so racist, and color was one of the blocks that prevented people like Obama to climb that high?
Almost certainly true - Obama has already won Mississippi (a racist sothern state isn't it?) over HillaryIron said:I would argue that attitudes towards women in high office have not progressed nearly as far.
hell yeah, id hit that with a low orbit ion cannonIron said:I want to believe in Obama, but..
No, Hillary's really hot.
Blech. I'd be ashamed to have Hillary as the first female President.Iron said:Absolutely.
It's no issue anymore. African-Americans have bought into the American dream. People positively WANT a black president for the symbolism of how much progress has been made. The bar gets lowered.
I would argue that attitudes towards women in high office have not progressed nearly as far. I could give a ream of examples about the comparative hell Hillary has endured. The bar for her has undoubtledy been shitloads higher. Maybe some believe that a woman projects weakness, or, if she projects strength, then she's not really a woman. But I think that the prevailing sentiment is that the whitehouse is no place for a lady.
The presidency should not be an office obtained on symbolism, whether that means a higher standard for some, or lower for others. Merit should always be supreme.
Hillary has merit.
He did graduate from Harvard Law School, practiced and lectured law though. I reckon those alone are sufficient qualifications.Iron said:Sure it's funny, but it actually pokes fun at the shallowness of Obama's pitch. All characters like him need for their ruination is time.
