You're going to hear a lot of "Hillary", but let's be honest: she was more polarizing than Obama. Although it would have been fun to hear NOW spin why it's better to be a woman who blindly ignores her husband's philandering than it is to support a woman who didn't rely on her husband to garner political office.
No. I think the Democratic Party knows just what they're doing. They weren't going to win on the female vote, but they're banking on the black vote and the young vote to carry them into DC.
And, just to hedge their bets, they've been playing the race card; first with "a vote against Obama is a vote for racism," and now by telling us that the only reason Obama isn't sweeping the polls is because he is black.
Of course I wouldn't ask you to take my word for it. Let's have a peek at what potential VP pick Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas said yesterday:

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius accused Republicans on Tuesday of injecting race into the presidential campaign, arguing that they are using "code language" to convince Midwesterners that Democrat Barack Obama is different from them.
"Have any of you noticed that Barack Obama is part African-American?" Sebelius asked with sarcasm. "(Republicans) are not going to go lightly into the darkness."
