the G-man said:
Slightly more positive for Obama, a new poll suggests the country is a bit readier to make an African-American President than they are a woman.

    A Newsweek poll finds 86% of registered voters say they would back a qualified woman nominated by their party. For a black person, 93% say they would be willing to back the candidate.

    The survey also found Americans think their fellow citizens still are a bit reluctant to elect either. Only 55% say the U.S. is ready to elect a woman; 56% say they can see the country selecting an African-American.





As I've frequently pointed out when liberals here bemoan what an allegedly white racist nation we are:

Political polls have shown since 1992 that when names are offered as potential candidates for president, the consistent winner for 16 years has been Colin Powell. So a nation that is only 13% black would select a black man for president, if he would only run.

That means the 87% of America that is not black, is ready for a black president, and has been for almost two decades.
