Last night, Senator Barack Obama won the South Carolina primary towering over Hillary Clinton by a whopping 28%. Everyone seems to be making a huge deal out of this victory, but honestly, what is so surprising? We all know that African Americans support and back up this presidential candidate, and with African Americans equaling more than half of the registered voters in South Carolina, obviously Obama was going to come out on top. He received 4 out of every 5 votes casted by an African American.
What I find most disturbing about this is the fact that people are just voting for Obama for the sake of his ethnicity rather then his beliefs. I bet if you ask most African Americans who will and have voted for Barack Obama what he believes in politically they would not have a clue. Same goes with Hillary Clinton! Many women are voting for her because she is a female and the United States still has not had a female president.
Whatever the case may be, I certainly do hope that the next president elected is elected because of his or her capabilities, not gender or race.
