A problem that HRC and BHO will have that Edwards wont.. Something to ponder
If any of those two wins a certain critical burden of proof will be on either Obama's or Hillary's shoulders. If they win and the country goes down the tube even more so than now people will start to think that maybe a woman or black president wasn't such a good idea. If the shit really hits the fan we probably wont see another woman/ minority President again in our lifetimes. We live in a fickle and discriminatory country that tends to throw prejudice by stereotypes. Just look at what happened to the Arab/Muslim community after 9/11...

What do you think?

3. Realistically, I think there will be a burden on either of them...
and I hate it. I say that as an Edwards supporter, which automatically opens my opinion up to criticism. I HOPE that if either one wins the nomination and the presidency that it won't be an issue at all. As women have been saying for decades, a woman must not only do as well as a man, but exceed him tenfold.

I am NOT saying this is a reason not to vote for either one. If one of them wins the nomination I won't hesitate to vote for him or her.

4. Considered that and almost supported Edwards for that reasn but
decided Clinton isn't seen as much as a female candidate and if there was any down side to that she has gotten past it in the voters's minds

Combined with my thought that Edwards is seen as a lightweight on national security

6. I see no change with Hillary or Obama. We'll still have the
best government corporations can buy. At the same time they'll both hurt all chances of another woman or black man for years to come of winning the white house, because of their corporatist stance! People are wanting change and that means a government for the people.

10. "You're" wrong. I don't believe you by the way you called Obama "BHO" and the way
you described "other" people as thinking. I think you underestimate people and must be talking about your OWN feelings.

12. Don't call ME retarded when you can't even spell correctly...
It's "sensitive" and no, I'm not. Does Barack Obama call himself Barack Hussein Obama? NO. Hillary Rodham Clinton HAS called herself Hillary Rodham Clinton. Only RWers call him Barack HUSSEIN Obama.
