7. Unless you can cite a specific line or passage from one of her interviews or speeches, in which she
suggested that every woman in America should vote for her, and that we might never see this opportunity to vote for a woman again for President....then I don't think you have any ground to stand on.

Of course she talks about her being a woman running for President, and how great it would be to see a woman elected president. I don't deny that, and I have no problem with it. Same way I would have no problem with Obama simply stating how great it would be to break down that barrier and have an African-American as President.

But I do have a problem when Tom Joyner suggest that every Black person supporting Sen. Clinton, should switch their allegience to Obama. And I have a problem with Obama saying Clinton's lead would be virtually non-existant if that happened, and that is is a "once in a lifetime" opportunity (as if to suggest he's the last, best hope of my community, and that we'll never get the chance to vote for a Black person as President again).
