The fact that he has gotten this far is a testament to the content of his character, not the color of his skin.
So let's get this straight.

According to you, Obama's race has worked IN FAVOUR of Hillary in many larger states, but Hillary's gender has NOT worked in favour of Obama in the smaller ones??

And are you seriously suggesting that Obama would have gone this far if he proclaimed the same message, but was a middle aged white guy in a blue suit with a run-of-the-mill name like, say

Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich?
