It depends. I dont think the politician had to be black, spanish or a woman if thats what you mean. I think he/she needed to be younger to pull that off. When i say "younger" i mean younger than 50.
I am proud of our country in the sense that race didnt hurt him like i thought it might. In retrospect, it probably helped more than it hurt. I say that and I mean not to the degree that many bigots say i.e that he got elected BECAUSE he is black. I think that notion is preposterous and small minded.
Could Biden have pulled off the "yes we can" and "change" thing? Absolutely not.
