If Hillary were a man

If Hillary were a man and Obama a woman, would there be any question as to whom the voters would elect as President? For that matter, would Obama even be running for President? Change is merely a wish, an empty promise. What really matter are the policies the person chooses, and more importantly, the strength of character. John McCain rode into the Republican Nomination because of his "believability". Obama is getting closer and closer to the Democratic Nomination because is a good orator and because he is black (half-black, but I digress). If he were a woman, and Hillary another white man, things would be turned completely around.

Discuss.

I don't let the factors of Hillary being a woman and Obama being part black get in my way of voting for them. It's their general stupidity that keeps me from voting for them, not race or gender. :/

I think the majority of people have gotten over the gender/race thing- especially since more and more countries are having female elected officials.

I think people may have made a stink about it at first, but most realize by now, after planty of time to see and hear the candidates, that race/gender make no difference.

I'm not particularly fond of any of the candidates but it has nothing to do with gender or race. I wouldn't be more inclined to vote for Hilary if she was a man and I wouldn't be more inclined to vote for Obama if he was white. McCain is a white male and I'm not fond of him either.
It comes down to how competent you consider them to be as a leader, and whether they will bring positive or negative changes.

I'd still vote for Obama if he were a white woman. I like the fact that he is a great orater, and has some pretty good ideas.

I'd like to think that gender and race isn't really an issue in this race.

Honestly I think the bigger question is; if Hillary's last name was not Clinton would we have even heard of her?
