The asking of questions concerning race and gender was alright at the beginning of this campaign but it is now time to judge the candidates as candidates. We need to decide individually which candidate can do the best job of leading this nation. Our problems in this country are far more than problems of race or gender. We talk about race and gender so much that we miss out on opportunities to help the country reach cits true greatness. To reduce the election to race and gender is simply stupid.

America's mindset is based on labelling and polarizing. This is our natural order of life. Just as birds fly south for the winter, salmon swim up stream to spawn, America politics will produce people who vote for the person modt like them in thinking. What is being overlooked here is that Obama Barack is doing something no other candidate other thatn John F. Kennedy has been able to do, bering out young voters who are looking for change. Not just from a Republican White House, but from the "old boys" way of doing things. What's wrong with that? That's what elections are about. Politicians for years have taken the Black and youth vote for granted for years. There was no reference to this type of alignment when candidates were male and white.
