"Since there are more women in the US than Blacks, I suppose that gives Hillary an advantage, but I assume Obama understands that and realizes that, if he can't successfully compete for the women's vote, he is toast."

Since Obama is neither white nor a woman, I hope he understands that in order to win, he has to get quite a few votes from people who will vote for him for reasons other than gender or race. Hillary could win with votes from people who share her race or gender, so I agree with what I perceive is your intent - that she has a bit of a natural advantage if the nomination comes down to voting based on race or gender.
