The problem is his race, though.


Would he still be running if he were white? Would he have made it this far? Would anyone have cared?

Same goes for Hillary, if she were a white upper class male, would she have made it this far? Although I believe she'd have a little bit sturdier ground to stand on since she has more political experience than Obama, imo.
