Could the Democrats lose again?

Hilary has a lot of good qualities... no doubt. But I don't think she has enough great qualities that would allow her to be the first female President. When I think of Hilary, I think she is okay... and that is kinda what I hear from a lot of other people. You're not going to break any barriers being "okay" or "good". If she were a guy, she'd be much more likely to win Presidency, but she isn't.

Obama has a lot of good qualities too. Even great qualities. I really like this guy. But his lack of experience make it really hard for me to believe that he can break through the racial barriers that still exist all over this country. Maybe if he were white, his name didn't rhyme with a terrorist he'd have a chance. But I doubt anybody would have voted for Adam Hidler in 1948, and I don't think Americans are ready for this guy yet.

I think these are two great candidates that due to circumstances beyond their control, they are nearly unelectable. Any candidate the Democrats nominate should easily win after what we have put up with for the last 6 years. Bush has destroyed the Republican party's reputation. It should be a landslide victory for Democrats in 2008. But with candidates that people may want to vote for, but can't... the Democrats will give away the election once again.

However, if these two team up... maybe that would do it?
