As a 68 year old woman who has fought for Women's Rights for 40 years I'm not the least bit torn about wanting Barack Obama to win. To believe that enlightened women should vote for a woman, simply because she is a woman is insulting. Should men only vote for men, senior citizens only vote for senior citizens etc etc. A vote should be used wisely not just to prove a point.

On the matter of Bill Clinton, I'm thinking perhaps he needs to go for a medical checkup….he;s definately acting peculiar. I believe his behaviour even transcends his giant ego.

I love Cokie Roberts and have respected her for years.
She is one of the last remaining reporters who has the ability to remain
fair and balanced.. she is very smart..to say the least.
She does not put words in ones mouth. She remains a fresh breath
of air.. I only wish younger women would respect her
example "reporters".

She understands issues.. and reports her smarts.She studies the issues..She knows what she is talking about.. She does her homework.
She has manners
She has the ability to see thru media hype and as a role model for
women..
Thank goodness she is back in the news again.
I see she has respect for women…

They both lie cheat and steal to get what they want. "POWER"

Bill Clinton - needs to be the center of attention and his wife's campaign just opens the door to center stage.

Cokie Roberts appears to be acting out the victum role when it comes to women candidates. There are many women in political positions but to somehow refer to the system as unfair to women because none has be elected to the presidency is nonsense. I, personally, will not vote for Hillary because I don't like her proposal for universal healthcare and some of the other socialistic leanings that she has. I don't trust her and don't want to see this country with her as leader. Cokie should state why Hillary would be a good president instead of compaining that she is not getting a fair break.

correction:

I would guess that Bill Clinton doesn't want his "legacy" to be ruined only to be remembered as the 1st ever "first husband" of the first ever woman U.S. president. All of his 8 years as a U.S. president down the drain once Hillary successfully becomes the first female U.S. president in history. Do you think Bill's own ego will be able to withstand that concept and be forced to walk 5 paces behind Hillary everywhere she goes? I think he'd rather commit to a divorce than to go through 4 years (or 8 years) being in her shadow.

I think not.

THERE ARE SOME WHO SAY THAT BECAUSE OF THE CLOSE RACE AND THE BICKERING BETWEEN CLINTON AND OBAMA THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WILL BE DESTROYED.

THEN SO BE IT, THEY CAN BE REINCARNATED INTO THE NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS DEMONSTRATED TO AMERICANS IS THAT THEIR SYSTEM OF CHOOSING A CANDIDATE AS THEIR LEADER IS LAUGHABLE. AND OPEN TO RIDICULE

THEIR SYSTEM IS ALL OVER THE MAP, FROM VOTING POLLS, TO CAUCAUSES, TO SPLITTING THE NUMBER OF DELEGATES, AND THEN THE CHERRY ON THE CREAM THE USELESS SUPERDELEGATES WHO SEEM TO HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A POSITION LIKE THIS AND ARE ALL AFLUTTER,

NO WONDER THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS CONCERNED, THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HOW REDICIOUS THEY APPEAR TO THE WORLD.

WE BRAG ABOUT OUR DEMOCRATIC VOTING RIGHTS AND THEN THE DNC DISENFRANCHISE FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN

I AM A DEMOCRAT AND I AM APPALLED ABOUT THE WAY OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN WAS ABLE TO MANIPULATE THE CAUCAUSES.

THE CAUCUS IS THE OPEN SORE IN THE PRIMARY ELECTIONS. THAT IS THE FIRST THING THE NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY SHOULD GET RID OF, RIGHT AFTER HOWARD DEAN

I would guess that Bill Clinton doesn't want his "legacy" to be ruined only to be remember as the 1st ever "first husband" of the first ever woman U.S. president. All of 8 years down the drain once Hillary successfully becomes the first female U.S. president in history. Do you think Bill's own ego will be able to withstand that and he's forced to walked 5 paces behind Hillary anywhere she goes?

I think not.

Husband or not, Hillary is aligned with very corrupt men. Mark Penn and Bill. She is running on Bill's 8 years so we can't forget all the scandal and Bill cashing on on his Presidency. Hillary is a participant in all of the corruption if she wants to ride on the coat tails of her husband. The Clinton's are both ambitious and competitive. They both don't how to turn it off. She craved attention during Bill's tenure and now he is way out there too. Many of us forgave Bill but we don't want more of the Clinton chaos. We want a new kind of politics and vision. Someone like Obama that doesn't have all the excess baggage.

Bill's unexplainable behavior? Its because of either too little aricept or too much viagra. go figure.

Yes it is unexplainable, and that is why these two will fail. They will never see the whitehouse again. Good for us! Good for the U.S.

Imagine Hill and Bill fight with each other on a foreign tour.

Bill is loosing it. Hillary has lost it.

If United States not give President to Women they don't need to marry a
women and they don't need to complain about China no women right.

Other thing if this time women not a President America not suppose to be
a world leader because the MEDIA again women too much.

I love my wife I love women to be President and I like to see Hillary to be
President of the United States.

Times have changed. This is a slightly different America politically than the one Bill Clintion lead 8 years ago. So no wonder Bill can't get his feet right……he is out of step I am afraid.

Bill Clinton loves the spotlight. You have to wonder if he'd really be able to handle it if Hillary were to be elected President.

Perhaps something subliminal is at work within him to keep Hillary from success.

There is a rumor somewhere that if Hillary were to lose, she will divorce Bill. It seems they had an agreement before she started the campaign where if Bill were to help her, she will not divorce him.

Think about it, they destroyed Al Gore's chances as they were in the background. They destroyed Kerry's chances (if you remember Kerry's last few days before election). If Kerry would have won, Hillary would not be able to run this time. Now they know they will lose, but they are trying to destroy democrats chances, because they want another chance to run in 4 years. They are one dirty couple. They are going to bring a bad name to American's , thats for sure.

What's not to understand? Bill Clinton is used to being in the spotlight as the center of attention. It's clear he's unable to exercise self-control - he feels compelled to flap his jaws about every subject to the usual detriment to Hillary's campaign.

Unfortunately, Bill will be forever a "loose canon" - with Hillary unable to "muzzle" him.

Sadly for Hillary, people will always wonder if the only reason she got so far so fast is because of Bill's "coat-tails." Or, is a vote for Hillary really going to be a vote for Bill instead? (Especially if she can't control him.) Only time will tell….

How anyone can support any Clinton is beyond comprehension. They only count on the gullible people to support them, because anyone with even a very low I.Q. can see through their con.

Just because someones a woman they owe something to Hillary Clinton? Its the old women voting for because shes a woman that are perpetuating sexism. Obama is the better candidate, hands down.

I'm a young woman, and I don't have any problem. I would be thrilled to vote for a female president, but I would never, no matter what, vote for Hillary Clinton.

Bill is having flash backs as if he is running for President again. Hillary don't wear dresses only pant suits two they are twins. She needs to send him home to take some of the stress off his mind about what happen when he was President.

Hillary has always had a battle in life. Against big pharma and insurance as first lady and now again she faces the same companies and same battle in their agent in the person of Obama which is paid by them.

If Hillary does not win, it will be a gross injustice of political manipulation since Al Gore 2000.

First it was the GOP messing up the voting in Florida in 2000 and now it is an empty suit selling promises that he has no ability or plan to fulfill.

I agree with Cokie that this behavior on Bill Clinton's part is inexplicable. How could a man with such a talent in political discourse make so many mistakes? I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch of the imagination, but it almost seems he is Hillary's campaign. Maybe her team is facing the reality of Obama's eventual nomibnation, and Bill will take the fall when her campaign implodes, as payback for his naughty-boy past of a decade ago?—-Naaaahhh…..no way……

I have alot of female friends that I can tell you are fighting this issue big time they all feel some since of loyalty to Sen Clinton because she is a women however, there is a few and others on the fence about switching there places. I think women have to ask the question do they really trust her after all the stuff in this campaign. I had so much respect for her win she jumped in the race. but now i am just sad for her mostly.

Go Obama 08

I don't think bill can stand to see his wife as a president. that will bruise his ego therefor he has to subconsoiusly sabotage her campaign.

Billy is a sexist who unconsciously wants to sabotage his wife's campaign. This is why he had numerous affairs, the hatred for his wife who probably would be smarter without him.
I would have voted for her if she had the guts to tell him to get lost,

A lot of men harbor feelings about women in high position. Also I think deep down inside he knows she'll do a better job and he doesn't want to be unstaged.

michelle obama's comments are unexplainable. snobama's comments about small towns in PA are unexplainable. him sitting in a black separatist church for over 2 decades while his "mentor" spewed anti white, anti jewish, anti american ideology is unexplainable.
