For this post, express your own opinion on the following question explored in Dowd's Op-Ed, "Will Hillzilla Crush Obama?": Are American voters ready for a female or African American president? In other words, do you think that either Hillary Clinton or Barack Hussein Obama has a good chance of winning the presidency in 2008? Do you think the American public is more receptive to one than the other? Do they have an equally good chance of winning?

Although this post is a reader response, not a research project, do inform yourself about the current popularity of each candidate. To score in the 8-10 range, you also need to refer explicitly (direct quotes and/or paraphrase) to Dowd's article. In addition, you should support your own opinion with your knowledge from APUSH, personal experience, or other relevant evidence.
