US Prez 2008

I just finished reading an article about women voters, and though I agreed with many of the premises, it also seemed to ring untrue in other ways. (I'll post a link later; don't want to influence your voting.)

So, a poll! The results are locked, so you can be honest with your answers without worrying about becoming a social outcast for your choice. I'll post anonymous results early in the week.
[Poll #1205282]
Thanks!

I frankly got pretty disgusted by Hillary's campaign, and even wrote to tell them so. As a white woman of a certain age, I was "supposed" to be a Hillary supporter, but I wasn't. And I resent the implications that if I didn't support Hillary, I was being unfaithful to my gender, or whatever. I hate the lumping of (white) women voters as a block as I do lumping any other grouping of people into a homogeneous whole.

I agree. Plus,she got so whiny and weepy and entitlement-minded. She may think she did a lot for women in politics, but I think she set us back.

hi renegade500

i am totally with you on everything you said here. i am one of those "white women of a certain age" (LOL!) what i want to know is this: what does my age and gender have to do with the price of tea in china??

i voted for the best candidate...it wasn't hillary.
