Going Tribal

An interesting thing about the presidential election this year is that the candidates aren't all old white guys. (You probably noticed that, clever folk that you are.)

For the first time we're reading about the implications of candidates drawing from 'their' tribe or losing votes from those not in their tribe.  Will the women stick with Hillary?  As the wife of our first black president, will African Americans stick with her? Or switch to one of their 'own'. Are Latinos antipathetic towards blacks and as such more inclined to vote Clinton over Obama now that Richardson is gone?

Interesting times.
