Democratic Presidential Candidates, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have broken the mold of every former presidential candidate in the U.S. ever. In 2008 to have a Female and an African American representing the Democratic party is an extreme honor. The two bring such diversity and charisma to the race. Both of them represent mass populations of American society. Both candidates are immensely knowledgeable and capable candidates. “The teenagers and college students who left their homes to march in the streets of Birmingham and Montgomery; the mothers who walked instead of taking the bus after a long day of doing somebody else's laundry and cleaning somebody else's kitchen — they didn't brave fire hoses and Billy clubs so that their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren would still wonder at the beginning of the 21st century whether their vote would be counted; whether their civil rights would be protected by their government; whether justice would be equal and opportunity would be theirs. . . . We have more work to do.” Barack Obama at this speech at Harvard.
