You'd be surprised. Blacks and Women are being more and more accepted, as the racist/sexist right wing has focused more and more on new targets for their prejudices. Here's the results of a survey published not too long ago. As you can see a black president would have it easy compared to many others:
If your party nominated a well-qualified Candidate For White House '08 who was _, would you vote for that person?
Yes No
Catholic 95% 4%
Black 94 5
Jewish 92 7
A woman 88 11
Hispanic 87 12
Mormon 72 24
Married for third time 67 30
72 years old 57 42
A homosexual 55 43
An atheist 45 53
That last one is the most disurbing for me.
Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!
