Super Tuesday: Should a Woman Vote on Race or Gender? I Know! Issues!
by Jessica Vozel/North Star Writers Group
After first advocating for Al Gore this past summer and then for John Edwards in the last couple months, I’m now forced to start anew yet again and chose another candidate to support in the 2008 election.
As Super Tuesday looms ahead of me today, I feel that by now I should pick someone to advocate, even though the primary in my state, Ohio, won’t come until the basically inconsequential date of March 4. Apparently, Iowans, Floridians and others are better at deciding these things than we Ohioans are, and thus end up with substantial pull in picking a candidate, while we are merely aimless voices adding our two cents long after the party is over. But, other states have it even worse, and I digress.

no, don't pick based on race.
no, don't pick based on gender.
policies are basically the same, and i think irrelevant for seeing differences.
one approaches as leader from top, one more from the bottom up.
one has resko, the other has hsu (and at least a dozen more)
one is old ties to power, the other has more grassroots ties that haven't yet yielded the potential of their power.
one says 'I will do this', the other says 'We will do this'.
one is secretive, the other is pretty open.
