“Voting against Senator Obama is not about gender solidarity. It is an act of white racial bonding.”-Tim Wise

Oh yea…..refusing to vote for a candidate you do not support is TOTALLY a restating of our ivory-skinned pride. Is he joking? That is ridiculous.

This election is not about race, no matter how hard the media tries to make it a racial issue. This election is not about gender. It is not about a historical candidacy. This election is about saving a broken country, and finding the right person to do it. For 8 years, we have been feeding on lies and threats. This country is destroyed because of all of these lies.

The right candidate will unite this country. They will be truthful and brutally honest with a people that need some tough love. They will stop a losing battle against terrorism. They will restructure our taxes and begin to fix the economy. They will protect the rights of women. They will protect the rights of homosexuals.

Are the 2 major candidates what I want? Not exactly. Did I support Hillary Clinton? Yes. Will I now throw my support to John McCain? Never. I am not nearly that stupid or stubborn. While I am disappointed by the way the primary process has gone, I know that the end-goal is not Hillary at all costs. That ship has sailed. Perhaps another time a female will battle her way to the White House. But that time is not now. Do I believe that Barack Obama is the perfect candidate, the perfect person to fix us? No. But I believe he will get there. And I believe he is smart enough to try.

Birds of a feather, flock together.

Democrats, stick together.

    although you might deny it, this election will be remembered as the election with the first woman and first black man to be viable candidates for president. there is simply no way of getting around the historical nature of barack obama and hillary clinton’s candidacies. thus, in some way, this election IS about race and gender; the fact that clinton and obama ran makes it so.

    like you, i was a staunch hillary supporter. i’m still in the bitter stage, i think. but i will never vote for mccain; it’s either a vote for a obama or no vote at all.
