But come on folks it does matter there are still enough people out there that dont think we are ready for either, and I won't lie I don't care what women it is I will not vote for a women for the president of the untied states call me what you will I just won't, as for a non-white I will reserve the right to check him out and make a decision, But I will say I think as a people we might be ready for a women more so then a Black. Just my thoughts. I am sure I will get bashed for the women remark but oh well at least it will spark a debate.

I'm not into bashing people for opinions I don't agree with. That's fine if that's what you think. Do I think America is ready for it? No, but personally I am ready for it. With the right candidate, i.e. a woman who is not Hillary and a black candidate with more experience than Obama.

But there are way too many people who won't elect a black candidate and a woman who won't attract female voters isn't winning either.

If we wait for "America to be ready", we will wait forever...change is never comfortable and sometimes it comes at great expense. Kennedy "couldn't win" because he was Catholic (I'm old enough to remember all the comments about the pope moving to the White House)...but he did win! If you allow folks to sit back in their comfortable easy chairs and decide they are "ready" for change, it won't happen...but make them take chance, present them with an opportunity and sometimes...folks will surprise you! Gandhi and King succeeded because they appealed to people's conscience and "inner goodness"...present people with a choice and educate them on the importance of eliminating bigotry and who knows? Some folks will never vote for a woman or a black...hopefully they are in the minority...it's way past time we find out!

Somer, I am sorry but there are quite a few parts of the country that are far from open-minded. In fact the scary thing is those are the same parts that like to see themselves are righteous and religious.
