Do we want a president, who in the face of adversity, hauls up the sexism/victim flag? Will she be saying, they only called at 3 am because I am a woman? Or they won't give me the respect I need because I am a woman? This is precisely why I told my husband over a year ago, she will take all women down with her if she does not win. I want one of the female steel workers to run, they would not cry victim! They worked long and hard to work long and hard. I want a female CEO to run, she worked long and hard to break a glass ceiling without playing the victim. I want a female military officer to run, as she knows how to work in harsh environments without being a victim to them. I am very sad as a woman today that she crossed that line.
As a white woman in her late 30's whose family comes from a blue collar background, I'm getting damn sick of hearing hearing about what 'democratic women' feel. We are not a monolith, there are a lot of democratic women who have no problem identifying as feminist (I am one of them), who take a huge issue with these women. I know several women in their 40's-60's who do not feel as the women outlined above do, some of who initially supported Hillary (and I have many good friends who voted for Hillary in the Illinois primary, for very good reasons) but would rather see Obama than McCain as president.

I'm one of these women you describe, but it's not an issue of seeing McCain as president. It's an issue, for me, that I don't want either of them to be president and I will be writing in Hillary.

I'm sure even Hillary would be disappointed in you if she were not the nominee. You seem to have based your decision on the individual people running instead of the policies they are running for. Too bad that you would throw away a vote not to support the very issues that your candidate has fought for all this time. Hillary and Barack have the same policies that they have been fighting for. You doing what you state is telling both of them that these policies don't matter. Too Sad.
Actually, being that Domergurl is from Indiana, and I am from Illinois, we could both write in 'scooby do' on our respective ballots and it wouldn't really matter as neither of us live in swing states.
A person is the president, not a policy. Hillary would/will be a more effective president. Obama will be like a deer in the headlights. McCain is anti-choice. I want an effective leader who will get their policies passed. I don't believe that Obama will be effective. Get off me ducky.

I'm not on you domer all I am saying is you people voted for a people that you thought could change things with their policies didn't you? Or is it that you voted for her only because she is a woman? If the latter is the case they you don't believe anything she has preached over the last 16 months. And that is really SAD.
