3. Possibly. The renewed calls for Gore to run might be evidence of that
Let's get real: I like Gore. I voted for Gore. But Americans did not take to him before and they won't take to him now. He's too easily swiftboated on superficial things.
11. Very good point. It's sick to say people are voting for a particular candidate to
solely promote those of their race or gender. The racism comes out in statements about the candidates (Hillary isn't pretty enough/Obama is a Muslim)--and often those voting for them (whiny Hillary supporters, those white ladies in NH ruined everything for us, etc.)
14. You're right. Even those of us who were not raised with blatant
sexism and racism by our parents certainly saw enough of it in our environment that everyone has been exposed to a certain amount. It's really hard to change your perceptions that you learned when you were young. In some, it's so ingrained that they don't even realize that their feelings are racist and sexist.
