This shouldn't even be a contest, but indulge me as I pull a 'BRTD' (= expressing an opinion through the use of a poll) here.

Beyond mentions of civil rights, Obama hasn't really played the race card at all.  I suppose that technically speaking, Clinton herself hasn't played the gender card, but it's pretty much equivalent to have her husband lament how things would be if she were male (among other traits).

You mean she's not a man?

Clinton's gender war disgusts me.

Clinton with out a doubt... not that i blame her, you can play the gender card more deftly than the race card and it makes political sense, if your looking at it from a moral view point sure you can criticise her campaign but as i say it makes sense for her campaign (Obama has standards... Clinton does not... nuff said).

Isn't playing the race card a euphemism for chasing the votes of racists?

Neither one has done it, as far as I can tell.

Hillary played the gender card shamelessley in the days leading up to the NH primary and it paid off big time.

Obama hasn't played the race card at all. Some people might say that menitoning civil rights counts, but white candidates do this too. Playing the race card is far, far riskier, and Obama has gotten this far precisely because he hasn't
