Oops. Suppose to read, if their candidate did not win the nomination…..

Love Hillary, love her tenacity, admire her work ethic and commitment to service. Men have lead our nation since 1789. We are way overdue to give a woman a shot. Waaaaay overdue. Margaret Thatcher, Benazir Bhutto, Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir, Eva Peron. The list of competent female leaders goes on. How can we remain a cutting-edge super power when we are so far behind the times. One thing impeding this progress is the inherent fear of and dislike for strong women. And it is so often perpetrated by other women. We must reject this. We must look at ourselves and wonder if it is an ingrained product of self-hate. That women are somehow less than their male counterparts. That men are stronger natural leaders. Bush and Cheney have certainly proven that not to be the case. There is nothing “less-than” about Hillary. Since college, men have been telling her to shut up and sit down. How she has managed to fight on amazes me. She must have an inner core of steel. An amazing woman. And if we don’t elect her now, I wonder how long it will be before another woman of her ilk can move up through the ranks to this position again. Another 219 years?

You can’t be serious. Maybe Hillary is not the most charming person in the world, but you cannot really think that Barack will effectively run this country and fix the mess this administration has created. I am from Texas and in our town on Super Tuesday all the republicans that came to vote voted in the Democrat primary and I asked the election judge afterwards and he bluntly said to me that they all came to vote againts Hillary. Why do you think that would be? I am a Democrat and a hispanic woman and for the first time I feel that if Obama wins I WILL NOT cast a vote in the Presidential race.

Hillary Clinton is the articulate candidate, not Obama. With the questions about Rev. Wright and other associates in the past, Obama couldn’t answer clearly, he looked angry and really didn’t want to answer questions. Obama has never discussed the issues, and this was a perfect debate to get a update on the issues, it didn’t happen.

terri, hillary knows where to exert her force in that office. with our economy and nation in crisis as they are, we need someone with a short learning curve, a plan, and lots of support from congress. that is why we do not have the luxury of letting obama bumble around until he learns the ropes. that said, i would vote for either of them. we would just have to remind obama that our unused wind and solar capacity trumps nuclear power for many reasons.

Do you ever even ask yourself why, when Bush Jr. admits he used cocaine, that isn’t important to you? Why when he lied to us to get us into that illegal and unjust war, the majority of the country said nothing? Why, when as Martha Raddatz just showed, interviewing him earlier this week, he approved of torture which violates the Geneva Convention, no one was particularly interested? Why, when his grandfather sold guns to Hitler during World War II, and his father was head of the CIA in Latin America when virtually all of the democratically elected governments were destroyed by “covert action,” we didn’t question “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree?” But, NO, Hillary is a liar. Lord, pass the smelling salts. Mugsy is about to pass out!

Dear Terri, And you have never lied right? It amazes me everytime someone wants to cast stones and they don’t look at themselves first. So Hillary decided to forgive her husband and deal with everything else that came with that package. Do you also judge her for keeping her family together and for being a woman who would rather forgive than to tear the family apart. Where are your family values? Do you think that Obama has never slipped out of his marriage? I hope you are not that naive. All politicians do it, the problem is that some get busted and others are good at covering it up. She has dedicated her life to serve this country, she can and has all the necessary experience to deal with all the challeges ahead! She will win this nomination and she will continue receiving the strengh and wisdom from higher powers to govern this country successfully!

I do agree with Stella. These are the saddest election choices that I can ever remember. When my friends and I speak of this election; first there is the sad shaking of heads, then a wish for a “redo”. Incredible as it may be, we seem to be about to get a president that will make us yearn for the days of our current one.
