History shows that black men received the right to vote before white women. I believe that mindset lingers today. A black man in the highest position of power is more palatable to the general public than a woman in that position. I have supported Obama since I heard his speech at the last Democratic Convention. Partly because of his charisma and electability. I would also be more than happy if Clinton were elected. Honestly, most anyone would be an improvement over the administration we have now.
