The fact of the matter is, the only reason he is getting any attention is because he is black.
I wouldn't say its just cause he is black. It has elements of it sure, but its also cause he has charisma and most of all to the media he is not Clinton. That's enough to prop him up. If Edwards was her only challenger they would try the same thing with him but without the charisma and the back pocket race card it would be tougher to execute.

I think this country would elect a black man who had the record to be worthy of it.

But I will say this. If he was a woman and tried to run for president with his resume, he would be laughed off the stage from the get go. That I truly believe.
