i hate talking politics

But here’s my incendiary question du jour:

If Barak Obama were a woman (young, attractive, inexperienced, touchy-feely message) and Hillary Clinton were a man (wrinkling, graying, seasoned, dry presentation)—all other things being just as they are—do you think Obama would have a chance?

Of course. I'm not sure why people keep bringing gender into this.

Well ...
Because Hillary is the first viable female candidate we've managed to cough up in more than 200 years?
Because women still earn .70 to every dollar?
Because women got the vote decades after African-American men did?
Because we never managed to get behind an Equal Rights Amendment?
Because racism is divided by race but all races unite in some form of sexism?
