Observation

My dislike towards Sen. Clinton has nothing to do with her gender.

It has to do with the fact that she's a poor choice for president, has ran a horrible attack campaign, and shown a vindictiveness that is unacceptable for someone in the White House.

It has NOTHING to do with her plumbing, and EVERYTHING to do with the person she is.

I've got a six year old daughter. I'm raising her to believe she can be anything she wants to be when she grows up. Including President.

However, I'm also raising her to understand that lying, cheating and backstabbing are morally and ethically unacceptable.

I want her to see a woman as president in her lifetime - in my lifetime for that matter.

But NOT Sen. Clinton. I have no desire to vote for someone based on race, religion, or gender. And every desire to vote for someone based on what kind of person they are.

And with that meterstick, Sen. Clinton fails badly. Fails as a morally ethical person, which has nothing to do with gender.

So are you voting for Obama, then? Because McCain fails your metric.

I will vote for the Democratic Nominee for President.

If no Democrat is in the race, I will vote for Sen. Clinton instead.

I would have been more likely to vote for Sen. McCain in 2000 when he challenged the Religious Right, not knelt to kiss their ring. I see no reason to vote for someone who's basically running as GW Bush with an anger management problem.

amen to that.

I find myself perfectly capable of loathing her for the plumbing as well as her hideous personality, atrocious tactics, and mindless self-destruction that doubles as a vindictive scourge on all things around her.

I totally agree. I wish more women were able to see past her gender and into her dark heart. I refuse to vote for her. Although, it's hard to believe that she'll win the Democratic Nomination. Obama seems to be continuing to gain, which makes me happy.

Very well put.

Unfortunately this election has been deteriorating into a 'none of the above' choice for me...

Yup. She can go sit on it and spin.
