Well, there are 35 million African Americans, and 30% of the US population identifies themselves as being in a racial minority, so I reckon he will get a healthy number of votes based on his color alone, despite his inherent abilities. He also has the novelty value of potentially becoming the first black President. Then of course we have Hil getting the female vote and possessing the novelty value of potentially becoming the first female Pres.
IMO, if you had a black female candidate, born in the ghetto, and harvard educated ... I think your money would be safe on her.
Interesting times!
