Makes for good media hype and water cooler conversation, but at the end of the day are the majority of Americans really ready to elect the first female or Afro American into the Whitehouse in 2008?

it would seem that women, with a voting majority, would be more than willing to finally cast a vote for a female president ... especially since they get to vote anonymously (i will have to acknowledge that hillary may make some of them hold their nose as they cast their ballot)
seem to recall a similar question being asked about whether we could elect a catholic when JFK was running

I'd vote for Kermit the Frog, if he had the right policies. What scares me is this Obama rock star stuff - even here people are implying they'd vote for him because he's "new" and well-spoken and has "charisma". Just like Hitler in 1933.

Female-probably at some point.
Afro-American?..no you have to be a born in the US citizen to become President. Otherwise Arnold Schwarzenagger could run and win easily.

If you meant black-perhaps but unless it occurs really* soon....its more likely to be an asian or hispanic before black.
*-30 years or so "soon"

makes you think so? I am NOT saying you are wrong (we both don't know that) but I am simply curious as to why you believe an Asian or Hispanic American has a better shot than a Black American..

Population changes..Blacks are the declining..Hispanics and Asians are easily eclipsing them soon.
Both groups have alot of very successful business/political etc control/influence.

actually a salient point. Hispanics are growing at a very fast rate and who knows..We may have President Bill Richardson in 2008..

First of all they don't give us real good choices. She was part of the most corrupt administration in history with slick willy. And the black dude is a muslim which we are at war with. And by the way I refuse to call anybody African American unless they were first a citizen of a country in Africa. Mosr people do not realize this because most politically correct people are idiots. But Africa is not a country, it is a continent. Egypt is in Africa, Libya is in Africa. And most of them couldn't even find Africa on the map.
