I wasn't basing my assumptions based on the ethnicity of these candidates. What I meant was that I believe that Americans are tired of the stereotypical middle-aged white conservative male in the office. Which is why candidates like Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton are having such an easy time raking in the dough for their campaigns. I believe that people want change. And I don't mean change in color. Because there are visionaries like Carter and Clinton that really fought to change the way America was perceived here and abroad. Carter was a little more successful because he had congress on his side a lot more often than poor Bill. So please don't take my post to be slanted based on the race of these candidates. That was never a thought in my mind and I wouldn't want any of you to think that it ever would be. Thanks.
