Last year, I thought she had a chance. But now, with Obama's campaign in full steam and all the polls saying that an African-American stands a better chance in winning the presidency than a feminist/progressive woman, I feel bad for her. And she's one half of the power couple that the radical Right Wing loves to hate.<BR/><BR/>I think many Americans don't have the patience to look hard enough to see the brilliant, principled and humane person beneath all the muck and black propaganda the radical Right Wing and the media have heaped on her. I thought that this year, the most powerful nation in the world would finally follow the lead of some Asian and European countries in choosing a female commander-in-chief. But from the looks of it, it may take another century for that to happen.

We have recently voted in Kevin Rudd to be prime minister, and he has chosen a woman, Julia Gillard, as the deputy prime minister(ie. similar level to being the Vice President). She was the most qualified person for the job, and although the media tried to rustle up some noise about her becoming the first female deputy prime minister(and for some time earlier this year, was actually the acting prime minister due to Kevin Rudd being away overseas), most people simply accepted it and just expected all the ministers to get on with their jobs, ie. who gives a crap if they're a bloke or a sheila? (translation for those not down with the Australian lingo: a man or woman)<BR/><BR/>Kevin Rudd, a self-professed Christian, also appointed an out lesbian, Penny Wong, to a senior ministerial position, simply because her qualifications made her the best person for the job. How I wish Americans would emulate this "just get on with it" attitude a bit more instead of being caught up in the cult of personality and religious fanaticism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-49403226365807758532008-02-09T18:15:00.000-08:002008-02-09T18:15:00.000-08:00Hey.

I am saddened by all the people who say that they don't want to see Hillary get the nomination because that would galvanise the Republicans as well as the Democrats that hate her and lead to 4 more years of GOP rule. It sounds very much like the Conservatives will unite just to make sure to put a woman in her 'place', and the saddest part is that many seem to accept that that's just the way it is.<BR/><BR/>It's like tacitly agreeing that the USA is a backwards, sexist country where a highly-intelligent woman with the right education, experience and the connections can't be president simply because she's a <I>woman</I>. The USA is supposed to be the leader of the free world but even countries like India and Pakistan have had women at the helm in the past. Girls growing up in those countries, no matter how far down the gurgler the current social and political environments in those countries might be, can always look at past history and feel that they can aspire to having the top seat. The same can't be said of girls growing up in "America, land of the free".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-24450326174293863752008-02-09T15:19:00.000-08:002008-02-09T15:19:00.000-08:00I came, I saw I caucused for Clinton today.We were...I came, I saw I caucused for Clinton today.<BR/>We were the few, but we were proud.<BR/>I felt proud that my 4 year old daughter (who could care less actually) got to see the democratic process in action, and could be present for such a historic event.

Yea! I agree with everything you said. Lifelong Dem, and I'm so damned tired of arguing with the women in my family who think Obama is the answer, and I'm tired of reading all of the misogynyst crap on the web (liberal sites run by men), and, frankly, I almost cried when I walked out of my polling place last Tues. after voting for Clinton. I'm 53. I'm ready for a woman in the WH. I'm a fan of Hillary's <I>because</I> she can not only do the job but talk back to the crap.<BR/><BR/>After last year's Donnie McClurkin mess with Obama, I decided that he had lost my vote unless he did something acutely repentent. Still waiting. 2007 and he's using homophobia to drum up votes. Hillary may not support gay marriage (yet), but I can't see her ever doing the same thing. Not now. <BR/><BR/>Thank you, Ms. Snarker!

She is the most qualified of all the candidates. In her career as a lawyer and in public service, she has made this world a better place for children, the sick, the down-trodden. Hillary has been more than just a First Lady. People fail to see this. <BR/><BR/>She is a great Senator with the ability to work both sides of the aisle. I would like to see Obama as her VP.

She did not rest on name recognition alone to get herself elected...she really did her homework and got to know the people and regions around NYS. It was never out of the norm for her to be one town over talking about the Medicare and the cost of prescriptions drugs for seniors. The woman really does do her work on the issues. All that said and with all her knowledge, experience, and caring...I have noticed over the years she does "pull her punches" on issues sometimes. It is almost as if she already anticipates the opposition and thus does not go full out for the issues she knows are right and just. I do wish she would go all out on her stance on the issues because I sense she would come from the right place just about every time...and I think a sense of her being more sure of herself would strike a cord with the voters and tip things her way.<BR/><BR/>I do find it kind of laughable that voting for Hillary would not be a vote for "change" because having a female president...with a woman's prespective...would really be a change like no other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-87700330206928317822008-02-08T21:20:00.000-08:002008-02-08T21:20:00.000-08:00Thank You!
