Thu, 14 Feb 2008 22:36:00 +0000 http://www.thiswomanswork.com/2008/02/11/im-still-divided/#comment-6864 I agree with the above commenter that sexism is hurting Hilary and it is just sort of accepted. I see it. I feel for her as a woman. I am sad we still have these issues. However, I am an Obama supporter for other reasons. For one, the whole dynasty issue really makes me upset. If we vote her into office it would mean the presidency will be in the hands of a Bush or a Clinton for 24 recent years! I want someone new. I also believe (hope) he is in a better position to win in Nov. I agree with the above commenter that sexism is hurting Hilary and it is just sort of accepted. I see it. I feel for her as a woman.

I absolutely think that sexism is hurting Hillary's chances but I want to vote to win so I'm leaning more towards Obama in the hopes that the democrats can finally take office!!! And I also think that he has the possibility of really bringing younger voters out and hopefully get them more involved in politics.

I'm leaning toward Obama at this point, mostly because I think he's more electable. I love Hilary's fighting spirit (personally) and her determination, as well as her intent to do something (ANYTHING!) about healthcare. Just as an aside, I think it's hysterical that people think she's too cold and too edgy - they would not think that if she had a penis. McCain scares the crap out of me - I hate his stance on Iraq, and his recent pseudo-endorsement of Karl Rove (!!!) was the nail in the coffin for me. I'm probably going for Obama, because I feel like he's got a better shot, I love his wife and I think he's brilliant. We'll see.
