Something I don't feel good about: EJ Dionne: "He's clobbering her
with the male vote".. He just said that Clinton only won 3% more of the male vote in NY and lost it by up to 46% in other states. I find that really discouraging even if I am for Obama.

1. That's just one reason she'll be a terrible general candidate.

6. More women vote than men. That bodes well for Hillary.
The Repubs are turning on McCain like rabid dogs. Did you read what Dobson had to say? Vicious!

10. Their party is split big time. Ours may be now, but a Democrat will win the Presidency.

4. I find that really discouraging even if I am for Obama.
Why?

The Clinton supporters make no excuses for drawing large numbers of women voters, theres nothing wrong then with Obama drawing the male voters.

5. I don't like seeing the vote divided so sharply by
race or gender.

7. i felt that way about the discussion of white voters
and Obama in SC. was glad it was not as low as they claimed.

doesn't really have as much to do with the candidates themselves as much as the thinking of the voters.

11. The female vote is polarized too, but in the opposite direction.
Plus African Americans are for one candidate and Latinos for the other. I agree. We are much too polarized and I hope we can all come together after the convention.
