I hope these people turn out to be Republicans.
Because my mother and I had an argument early in the primary. We're both feminists, and she was arguing that there's a good possibility that older feminists won't tolerate a black person "getting there" first, the way they would if a white guy was beating Hillary Clinton.
I don't want her to be right. It's depressing.
I doubt it has anything to do with being black.
The point is that Hillary has been working hard for this party for a long long time, and Obama is a newcomer with a razor thin resume.
He should have shown party loyalty and waited his turn. Instead, he pushed ahead of Hillary in line with scandalous sexist attacks while insinuating himself from her with lies about her racism.
It is totally unacceptable what he has done, and I am not suprised that women are telling him to take a hike.
Obama is destroying our party.
"waited his turn"
While we're on the subject, where's my place in the line for the presidency? If someone else cuts in line, can I yell at them?
"sexist attacks"
Care to provide examples? Hey, I can do this too, its fun. Hillary made "racist attacks" on Obama. (No, I dont actually believe that, but my point is that throwing out accusations is easy).
The idea of 'waiting his turn' is antithetical to that and down right offensive to many. If he can make his case and enough voters support it, he should be president. Period.
Clinton ran a tough campaign. She would make a great president, but she was betrayed by the incompetence of Mark Penn, not by any misbehavior by the Obama campaign or his supporters.
Peace
I'm rather glad that Obama did not wait his turn, because I (and millions of others) did not wish for it to be her turn.
