Would Barack Obama be considered for the presidency if he was not black?

[Joe Republic]

The Dems had plenty of incredible options, winning options:
Al Gore, Brad Henry, Mark Warner, Evan Bayh, Tom Vilsack

But no, Dem elites pushed through the token candidate of their choice

Uh huh.  It'd be fascinating if we could see into the parallel dimension where any of those people had won the nomination this year, just to see if you'd actually be lauding their "incredible" and "winning" candidacy.  Somehow I doubt it.

Other than being black, Obama has not accomplished anything or lead anyone.

Being black is an accomplishment?  Damn my inferior DNA!!

I would have supported any of those people (spare Gore when in environmentalist mode) over McCain

That is truly fascinating!  Absolute bullshit, unfortunately, but still fascinating nonetheless.
