You can't mean the USA was more ready for a black than a woman. An unknown from the back of the pack ran her off the table.

Obama vs. Clinton: Two Different Polls
As far back as shortly after Barack Obama announced his candidacy, he was leading Hillary Clinton in the polls by as little as 47-45 to as much as 51-39.
This was a full 11 months before the first votes were counted in the Iowa caucus, where he came in first, with John Edwards second, and Clinton third.
After Obama won that first contest, he could no longer be considered an "unknown from the back of the pack" or a dark horse as some affectionately like to call him.
