I don't want to get into a discussion of race...Obama is a good public speaker and I think that is where his *talent* lies. He doesn't have a lot of experience and that is my biggest problem with him. We do seem to want to elect rock stars in our country. The latents of Biden and Dodd (who I loved) were completely overlooked. Americans want charisma, charm and yes....controversy. Obama and Clinton both provide us with that.
If this were an election where people didn't see the candidates or listen to them speaking but only looked at their records, I don't think either Clinton or Obama would be on top right now. Call me racist...call me sexist...but I think it's got some truth to it.
