The single candidate that has excited the most young people in decades?<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile his stance on the issues varies little from Hillary Clinton, and they are stances I agree with, far better than McCain's. Would you be making the same statements about her -- she's just the woman candidate, nothing else?<BR/><BR/>I guess none of this matters if you are determined to just pawn Obama off as another black man.<BR/><BR/>Glad to see how so many can look past talent and gift and get stuck on race instead.Grant Huang, editorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14048336433241968347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951946435527512131.post-81916049578234065182008-06-15T20:26:00.000-04:002008-06-15T20:26:00.000-04:00Great points!<BR/><BR/>However, I would disagree with one of your opening statements that people are not talking about whether or not we should elect a black man to the presidency. If anything, this seems to be the only reason to nominate Senator Obama as the democratic candidate. <BR/><BR/>If it is not his skin color, then what is it? I challenge anyone on this magazine to list just one acheivement of Mr. Obama's that would qualify him to be the President of the United StatesWatchAndPrayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18375659757437184355noreply@blogger.com
