Black Enough? Feminine Enough?
July 23, 2007
The question was posed to Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Obama: Ask the cabbies in Manhattan who think twice about picking him up.
Clinton: "I couldn't run as anything other than a woman. I am proud to be running as a woman. ... But obviously I'm not running because I'm a woman."
John Edwards offered his two cents, saying he wouldn't want the vote of anyone who would vote against Obama because he is black or Clinton because she is a woman. But he also said he is a better advocate for women than Clinton.
Clinton's response: "I have been on the forefront" of advocating for women. "I think it's terrific that we're up here arguing about who's going to be better for women."
