yah sab, good going on bringing up the discussion. as a black female i found myself a bit torn, but with all things even among them obama's distance from the lgbt community, especially the black gay community, made the decision for me. it seems to me that obama has the hopes of the nation, and that's great but as a triple threat minority once in awhile i choose sides and woman + 100%queer friendly=Clinton without a shadow of a doubt. I would vote for a good black candidate because he was black, but not just because of it. I truly believe that Obama's inexperience has allowed him to get swept up in this youthful idealist quest for a change, it's never really worked in this country (Nader, Dukakis, McGovern). People say they're ready for change but it's not about ideology, it's about finances if you ask me. That doesnt bode well for Obama in 3 months time.
