One is young and black! The other is old and white! How are they not dramatically different?!
Obama is one of the "whitest" black men you can find, and he is mixed race. McCain has been through hell and back, and is a "tough" man that can take on anything and just doesn't die even after being shot/tortured. Basically, Obama fits a white person stereotype despite being "black" and McCain can fit into a black stereotype despite being white!

THE JACKAL
Now you're just being facetious.
ok granted I was being a bit extreme, but if the only real difference is the color of their skin... then there is no real difference.

I HATE THAT. All I ever hear about is how people want equality and blah blah. Yet a female runs for president and all we hear about is how she's a woman. A black man runs for president, and all we hear about is how it's a black man. It shouldn't matter if they're black or female. They're a candidate. And until people start looking at them like that, we're just perpetuating the issue.

And what bothers me the most is... Would Obama really be as far as he is, if he wasn't "black." I mean, he's as good a candidate as any the democrats could offer, but really.... he only stands out from the others because he is "black." Clinton only stood out because she's female.
