I believe Mr Srinivasan seriously underestimates the intelligence of the American people. Most Americans want to leave racism n the past, not carry it with them forever. The time to elect a black person or a woman is long overdue and most of us know this. So the question boils down to this: which individual can inspire us to set aside our cynicism and our disappointment? Which candidate can help us unite for our common good, and begin the difficult task of rebuilding our sense of empowerment as a government of, for anf by the people? To many of us there is only one. Barrack Obama in 2008.

Did you really just suggest that "The time to elect a black person or a woman.." great, we need to elect people just because it hasn't been done?
Talk about thier individual merit, not thier race or gender.

Sadly the reality is not what is said by the above submitter. Mot Romney's religion went strongly against him. Obama has two things going against him, and Hillary is woman (many American's say they would rather vote for a African American man rather than a woman). Of course bloggers and people in blue state think differently, but this is a general election and only McCain fits the traditional presidents image.
