Reply #9: More of Toni's letter to Obama

[Emillereid]

I have admired Senator Clinton for years. Her knowledge always seemed to me exhaustive; her negotiation of politics expert. However I am more compelled by the quality of mind (as far as I can measure it) of a candidate. I cared little for her gender as a source of my admiration, and the little I did care was based on the fact that no liberal woman has ever ruled in America. Only conservative or "new-centrist" ones are allowed into that realm. Nor do I care very much for your races. I would not support you if that was all you had to offer or because it might make me "proud." http://www.observer.com/2008/toni-morrisons-letter-bara...
