30、项。Although the 2008 US presidential elections are still a long way off, candidates(候选人) are already getting ready for the campaigns ahead. For the Democrats (民主党人), the two leading candidates are a surprising pair. The first is Hillary Clinton, 60, the wife of former President Bill Clinton. The seco
31、nd is Barack Obama, 45, a Harvard educated senator (参议员). It is the first time that the leading presidential candidates for a political party are either a woman or black. The energetic pair has certainly gotten peoples attention. But the question remains, is America ready for either one? Its not a s

36、lt odds, but never before has there been so much support for either a female or a black candidate. As Barack Obama himself said, There is not a black America and a white America, a Latino America and an Asian America theres the United States of America. If others share his vision, maybe the United S
