What about waiting for the RIGHT woman to come along?

I really feel that African American women had a chance to turn the situation around. They voted race instead of gender.

Or maybe they voted character instead of gender.

I know I did.

Or maybe we actually sat down an looked at who would be a better leader. Or would that be crediting black females with too much thought for your tastes?

Leadership and governing skills are not about genitals. Hillary's gender is as irrelevant as her eye color. If you support her based on her genitals then you are a sexist and part of the problem rather than the solution.

OK, I give up. Who got into office exactly one year ago? If you're talking about Obama, he's been in the senate for 3 years.

What a presumputous, arrogant statement! I am a 60 year-old white woman who is for Obama. I am voting competence, decency, and for someone who sees the world closest to the way I do. I would vote for him if he were white, or if he were a woman, but not BECAUSE of either of those things.

Your assumptions, which you try to pass off to your amis, are not particularly helpful or enlightened.

Seriously, I'm a white woman and I'll be voting for Barack and have worked my butt of for him. So does that mean I picked being a self-race hater over gender?

This is the exact thing that Obama talks about. Getting away from this idea that labels must define us and that we must act in according to whatever those labels describe (hint: those labels are stereotypes anyway).

Oh yeah, and Donna Brazile is amazing. I've loved pretty much everything I've seen her do. I'm not old enough to know about that whole 'Barbara Bush' controversy she resigned over, but I'm wondering if youtube will have anything...

You live in France, and now you know about African-AMERICAN women?

Please. lol.

Actually Donna Brazile was great. It is possible to be sitting on a news panel and just sit there when some outrageous thing is said. Then, low and behold, if no one says anything, the statement gets a label of "facts" when nothing could be further from the truth. Good to see a woman out"Fox" a couple of men. Keep up the good work, Donna. In the end, if everyone tells the truth, we will have the right candidate to beat the Republicans. BUT, make no mistake about it, whichever wins will be tromped on by the actual RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY because the far right realizes if a Democrat gets elected, some of the people in this administration need to be arrested and absolutely, that would be in order. I am excited that finally Democrats had a woman and a Black to chose between. Never expect anything like that from the bigoted Republicans.

It was nice sparring with you Tena, but it's over. Your your candidate has won. As I promised I will volunteer for Obama in the fall. It turns out, though, that I'm going overseas. My only contribution will be to rally expats to vote Democratic.

I think Clinton will try to clear her campaign debt and play on through Kentucky using a unity against McCain theme. Over the next several months Clinton will do her part to unify the party. If she does so, the least the Obama supporters can do is not blame her when he loses somewhere between Dukakis and McGovern.
