7. Like every other successful Dem candidate in history, except Obama (still male).

If you want to play that game.

Obama was an exceptional campaigner who locked in high African American turnout for Dems.

I would love to be wrong, but doubt that black female candidate locks in AA turnout the same way. Male chauvinism knows no race. (And there are plenty of women who don't feel comfortable with the idea of a woman president.)

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
