Well, it is now a race bewteen Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton for who will get the Democratic Nomination for President of The United States. The Democratic Party will take the historic step of nominatiing an African American or woman for the nation's highest office. This most recent change in the political landscape is bound to raise the bar on discussions of race and gender. It is also going to force voters to confront their biases.
When the " smoke clears" which candidate has the best chance of winning?
Which bias will have the most impact? Racial or Gender?
The idea of a so called " Dream Ticket" featuring Obama and or Clinton Obama was mentioned dueing the California Debate. The idea wasn't dismissed by either candidate. Could it be that the civility on display in California is setting the stage for the two remaining contenders to link up ?
