Obama '08?

Perhaps they know too much. Perhaps these women understand the female psyche and realise how unsuited they, and by extension a female candidate, would be for high office.

I made that point earlier but nobody took me up on it.

If Mrs Clinton dropped out what happens to her votes at the convention?

Is there a possibility of another candidate coming in with her endorsement (VEEP offers) and with the superdelegates added on the woman and the black man are out and normal service is resumed.

I would think Mr Gore could blow Mr McCain away under such circumstances.

The super delegates only have a say in who their party's nominee will be. They won't have any say in which of the two party's nominees will be the next president. That's all up to the vote in the general election.

Well--I know that. Everybody knows that.

I don't think you understood my post Foxy.

If Mrs Clinton loses Ohio and Texas and bows out that will leave Mr Obama standing alone but with nowhere near enough delegates to win the nomination. The powder is still dry.

Or have I misunderstood?

Why would I have said that about Mr Gore blowing Mr McCain away if I thought the delegates chose the president?

That scenario gets rid of the woman, the black man and the old age pensioner and places a well funded Nobel prize winner with a noble cause in his sails in the WH. And with great experience and charm.

A safe pair of hands. No cupboard skeletons.

And you owe him one as well.

Where does the 174 and 239 come from? Don't we have to wait for Texas and Ohio to place their votes?

Because there is noone as qualified to tell us what remorse or other sentiments liberals are experiencing right now than a NR columnist.

Of course he is. As if I was trying to hide the fact. This is how the print version copies.

In any case it doesn't seem as if Liberals have any problem telling us what conservatives think or feel.

I found it humerous. Perhaps you did not.I'm sure you're not suggesting that this thread should not be polluted with comments from the "other side."

Sozobe, I credit your support of Obama to your intelligent research of him and not sexism, obviously, because you are a very smart woman.

I, too, have always want to be able to vote for a woman president and I always thought the Republicans would be the first to offer a woman because they would never support a Democratic woman. Hillary Clinton, in my opinion, is the best prepared to be president from day one, especially for foreign policy issues.

Now, I've have always wanted to vote for an African-American for president. I wonder what would happen if a Black man and a Black woman were candidates at the same time? It turns out that the opportunity arose for a man and not a woman. I'm so dissapointed that two such talented people arose to run for president at the same time. What a dirty trick to play on those of us who dreamed of such opportunities. We had to choose. I chose the person whom I thought was best for the common good of the country at a dangerous time.

Sadly, there are a lot of women who would never vote for a woman on a strictly gender basis.
