3. Why "bullshit"? Because it wasn't "DU'd"?

"US voters are ready to elect a black or woman as president" - I think that trsult reflects well on the electorate.

6. voting for a women still is scary to many (according to this poll)--as a man trumps a women.

About 92 percent of respondents were willing to vote for a black presidential candidate, while 86 percent said they would cast a ballot for a woman, said the poll on Newsweek's website.

However, smaller majorities of voters believed the country was ready to accept a black or woman president.

When asked if the United States was ready for a black president, 59 percent said yes, while 58 percent said the country was ready for a woman in the White House.

Two-thirds of respondents, 66 percent, said that there was a some chance they would vote for Senator Barack Obama, a black lawmaker in his first term. And 62 percent said the same when asked about Senator Hillary Clinton. Both are Democrats. No Republican woman or African American has entered the campaign.

8. YET. others factors count also--as Hil trumps Obama 56 to 33%

In a head-to-head competition, the poll showed Clinton leading Obama 56 to 33 percent.

9. I would vote for a woman, I would vote for a black man, I would vote for

a purple gnome as long as that person was someone who I really believe would be good for this country. Now the woman and the black man running for the title President, I don't believe will be good for this country. I think it will be business as usual. Healthcare will continue to dwindle, jobs outsourced, and wars continued. It is going to take a strong leader who will work their asses off to put our country back together again. These two won't do it.

REPUBLICAN OR FRIENDS OF THE BUSH CHENEY CROWD!

13. I agree. I would vote for a purple as long as they are not R or friends of Bush**-Rove-Cheney crowd

10. Sorry for all the "bullshit" in your life.

12. Maybe because I am a woman

I do not have any trouble voting for any person of color, race or creed. Maybe because being 75 I have felt discrimination because I am a woman most of my life so I am more tolerant of people.

I think all people are equal, even republicans.
