Obama was never "white enough" to lead as far as many Dems and Repubs are concerned. People just found a different way to articulate it.

But as long as you know that Geraldine Ferraro didn't say Obama wasn't white enough.

Politics is NEVER just about politics. This is just the first time that we've had anything OTHER THAN older white males running for a key political office. Prior to this race and gender couldn't be an issue so they found other things to highlight.

If we ever have a middle to lower class person run for president (who knows how they'd fund their campaign) that would be a huge issue,too, because it's different and socioeconomic status is a symbol of something. Just like factors like gender and race (and age, since Obama's younger and has been accused of lacking experience) are.
