I do think out of the two democrats, Obama has the best chance if these race/sex factors are what decides things. Let's face it, he's about the whitest black dude around...that can only help him in terms of trying to reach out to conservatives.

I took a course on the Black Muslims last semester. It was interesting as we studied the movements capabilities and significant success at alleviating black poverty in the US. How did they do it? By essentially advocating a shift to a WASP lifestyle. Not in a racial way, but by advocating things like financial responsibility, the family and social morality. Obama may be the "whitest black guy around", but he's also quite inspiring in a way.
Blacks have suffered and endured amazing abuse by the US government and culture. They've survived but at a huge social cost. They need guys like Obama to show them that you can beat the "System" at it's own game, regardless of your skin colour.
