So its going to be a contest for the Democratic Nomination between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
The only problem with this is that no one seems to be talking policies - instead about the oddity of the next President possibly being either a woman or an African American. But then the Democrats and Republicans are so similar that policies rarely seem to distinguish the parties. Why shouldn't the nomination process come down to personalities?
Barack isn't really a typical African American of course - his father is Kenyan, so doesn't have the 'history' of most African Americans. Hillary is hardly your average woman politician either - the former First Lady wasn't typical in that role either.
