Clinton as a rival. Get the good senator out of the way, now, so I won't have to face her when I run for President in 2012. Of course, nobody has brought it up, but a lady has a right to dream, doesn't she?! By the way, I'm a Washington resident and my vote goes for Clinton. :-) I could see Obama as a great Vice Pres.

I don't support HIllary and I too am female. I think we need to vote for the best "person", not base it on gender or race. Many of you females are making our gender look very silly in that you appear to back HIllary simply because she is female. Look past that fact at what voting for her would mean. I don't want our presidency to be an example at this critical time in history. HIllary has not proven to me that she has the good judgment that is needed to lead. She makes votes and later regrets them. She speaks out of both sides of her mouth saying what the current population she is speaking to wants to hear. It's frustrating that people are allowed to vote and not take the time to really know who the candidates are and what they represent. I watch every debate and have heard her inconsistencies and changes. I get tired of hearing that Obama has no substance, that his speeches seem more like pep rallies. His followers know what he stands for. Anyone can know what he stands for and what he has done in Illinois and Washington if you only take the time to do some research and not base your thoughts and positions on what you read on blogs. Our country deserves people that take the time to care. By the way, I am so disheartened by females that bash out at any other female that doesn't support Hillary.

Really, really listen to what these two PEOPLE are saying in the debates, campaign speeches, and interviews. Try to close your eyes to gender and race when making your decision. That's why Obama is so effective, he's preaching that gospel, the gospel of humanity, not women, or blacks, or even whites. You think that by voting for a woman because she's a woman, you're making a difference in the way American society views women? Fat chance. America's respect for women is as high as it has ever been and will ever get, Hillary becoming president won't effect anything. She'll prove to be just as cutthroat, conniving, and deceitful as any other politician. So again.....judge these candidates for what they're proposing and not what they represent. F.Y.I. - I'm a black man and I'm not voting for Obama because he's black, but because I like what he's saying. If Hillary wins the nomination when it's all said and done, I'll vote for her because ultimately it's about the party. Democrats stand up!

Give me a break. You cannot get angry at people for choosing to support who they want to support. Either way!! For those of you that keep making this a racial issue, why is it when white people vote for a white person, which the last time I checked was over a zillion times since every single president has been white, you don't see that as "voting for your own". That is absurd! I am black and I am a proud supporter of Barack Obama. The fact that he is black has ZERO to do with my support of him. If he were black and ignorant, dishonest, lacking in experience or in anyway failed to illustrate how he can give our country better healthcare, get us out of the war and otherwise build our nation, he would NOT get my vote. I am NOT a Hillary supporter because no matter how you Hillary-backers swing it, she is is bad for the White House. The Repubs hate her and she has been wheeling and dealing in Washington far too long. Have you all forgotten about the fact that she has constantly changed her campaign platform to fit what she thinks is competitive? She, and many of the Repubs, were never about Change until they saw that it worked for Obama. How can you stand by someone that morphs his/her beliefs to win an election. We do not even need to discuss the fact that her touted 35 years of experience has been largerly devoted to children and has never involved nationwide poverty, bettering schools or foreign policy. SHE HAS NO MORE FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE THAN OBAMA. And if her plans were so grand, why didn't she get any of these items fixed when she was as she so eloquently puts it, "in Washington for 8 years". The facts are what they are. OBAMA 08..........and not 'cause he's black!! Why do the Hillary supporters on this blog seem so bitter. Give me a break.

Have you ever listened to his rallies??? Empty words.....short on Hard Issues!! Making Hard Choices makes a leader. Senator Obama has much to learn. This isn't a race about wishful hoping it's about getting this country strong again.

Hope? then explain this to all the young females attending your stump speeches. Madame Governor,

See, this is what I'm talking about. People aren't voting based on who they think can win, or who has the best policies, or who they think can unite the nation, or who they think has the best judgement. Instead they keep spouting nonsensical attacks on the other candidate's supporters for not supporting the "black" or "female" candidate. Just because someone doesn't back a candidate of their own race or gender doesn't mean they are a traitor to their race or gender. People need to stop with the race and gender based attacks, as they are baseless and just hurt the party in the long run. "No wonder there is no women president – women don't support own gender."
