Personally, if you can step away from the politics of the situation, it's groundbreaking either way. No matter who wins, there will be a black man or white woman as the president or vice president. We really have come a LONG way.

I think that there is more opposition to a black man as president than a white woman. I think the seeds of racism are sown deeper than those of sexism. I think that there will be a worry by some that a black man will prefer blacks and punish whites. We have come a long way, but racism is still alive and well in America.
