7. The only candidacy you can compare Obama's to is another black candidate's?

How about Gary Hart's campaign in 84 or any other competitive race that has been held in the past? I'm sure analogies could be found. Though I'm not going to do it, because the past in politics is never prelude to the future.

It's kind of clear to me that the thinking about Obama solely as a black candidate is far from over. To me, he's just a candidate. As is Hillary. Two strong capable Democrats in a tight race.
