My Theory on the Democratic Nominee choice.

This is my theory on the Nomination process.

I want to first tell you to totally ignore the fact that Hillary clinton is Hillary Clinton, not famous, just think of this in basic terms, let's begin.

The Democrats need to win.
We need the Democrats to win.
The Democratic party has lost the last 2 elections.
The Democrats need a change of pace, new tactics.
The Democratic party decided to try something "radical"

These are the facts at the beginning of the Democratic Primary.
Let's look at a few other factors.

Many of John Q. Public in middle america is White. Judeo-Christian, and Conservative.

So, taking all that in account if you want to optimize the democrats getting into office you can have a man (which is traditional) or a woman. Middle America still believes in "traditional" family values, that translates to traditional political beliefs. That means a male is an easier "sell" to the general populace. The only thing the Democrats need to get around is the "Obama's a black guy" thing, which should in all honesty, be really easy. He's a great speaker, charismatic, and gives people hope (something some people have a problem with, go figure). he may not have experience but noone other then a person that's already been President has experience. You can't train to be the "Man" or "Woman", it's just something you do when you get to where your going.

It's not personal, as they say...
It's Politics.
