he is not asking them to vote for him because he is black. he knows that as a given. the democratic party, since bill clinton, keeps offering up party insiders who have no significant appeal to the typical unaffiliated citizen ... that is the swing vote which determines elections. while hillary touts her superior experience Obama appears to be highlighting what he will bring to the election - a certain black voting block.
hillary has a similar opportunity to appeal to women voters ... would most women not want to help elect the first female president? but it will likely have to be a woman without all of hillary's negatives. bill has all of the charisma which is resident in that family. fortunately for Obama, he has it, too

If that Hillary wench starts to run her mouth about bringing in woman voters and emphasising the obvious, that she is a woman (allegedly) she will get the same response from me that Obama got in this post. Of course I would vote for a purple gay Yankee's fan from New York with Russian ancestors on his illigitimate lesbian illegal alien grandmother's side before I would vote for the Hillary wench.
Well I guess that now I will be called racist and a sexist!
