Those small states are important. On super Tuesday Senator Obama picked up more delegates in Idaho thatn Mrs. Bill Clinton delegate margin, the same day, in the big state of New Jersey.

Senator Leahy is one of those few senators that I have great respect for. Its a good thing there are at least a few of them in the congress.

Everytime one of your 'sexist' bloggers refers to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton...one of the most brilliant people in our country (and the world) as Mrs. Bill Clinton I think women and all people should stand up in outrage.

When clearly we have someone with the ability, experience and solutions to really make a difference demeaned in this way...all people ...especially women...must speak out.

Senator Clinton is the best and we all should be standing behind her if we really care about the future of this country..and the world!!!

If one more Clinton supporter tells me I am not a real feminist because I support Obama- I am going to scream. I am a feminist. I believe in a woman's right to choose- I believe that Obama has the best chance of winning in November thereby securing women's right to choose. I also believe that being a feminist means supporting qualified women over unqualified men. That is not the case here. If you support Clinton- you should do so because you think she is the best candidate, not because a woman should be able to be President. I support Obama not because I think a Black man should be President but because I think this particular man could be. Are some of the attacks against Clinton sexist. Yes. Absolutely. I dislike those. But that does not mean I need to support her.

Also- let me be clear. As a FEMINIST, I would much rather see someone like Barbara Boxer or Nancy Pelosi as President than Hillary Clinton. I would like the first woman President to be someone who could say she got there on her own and not because she was married to another President.

Word, Golux.

So HRC isn't Mrs. Bill Clinton?

The most frightening thing about Iraq is that it is a repetition of Vietnam. Why do we keep doing this? Why were the candidates this year that wanted to instill a culture of non-militarism considered the lunatic fringe? Would Barack Obama be capable of winning the general election if he weren't proposing an expansion of the armed forces? Or are we really condemned to expand our armed forces to protect ourselves from the enemies we've made?

I hate to say this but that ad was kind of sucky. I like Leahy and am an Obama supporter but whoever directed that commercial did a bad job IMO. Am I the only one who thought that?

Sorry, but my take on Hillary is she's standing squarely on the accomplishments of her husband in order to get ahead. I think that does very little to advance the woman's movement.

I've noticed that Hillary has frequently used references to her gender as well as her husband's accomplishments to help her out in this race. Here's an example:

2'10"

"Someone standing on the steps of the capital will place his or HER hand on the Bible..." (women cheer loudly)

Why didn't she just leave gender out of it and say "place their hand on the Bible"? Can you imagine if Obama had made such a cheap appeal to a particular demographic? Maybe he might say...

"Someone standing on the steps of the capital, either a white person or maybe a BLACK man... (black people cheer loudly)...will place their hand on the Bible..."

I guess that could have been Jesse Jackson's line....

I have observed generally that when the chips are down you see what people are really made of. In the beginning before I made my mind up about whom to support I was concerned that HRC's (un-deserved negatives) would lead to more fractious years in our national body politic.

But look at what the Clinton camp is doing now that her campaign is in trouble-divide and conquer. Why not climb higher up the bully pulpit and shout out why she is the better candidate-what it is that she has to offer that makes her better!

Let's say for the sake of argument that the two candidate's positions are really close (just for hypotheticals). Who would be better able to lead? I think HRC's and Obama's campaigns are sending clear signals about their candidate’s styles.

One is exciting people and making them feel that everyone of us matters and can make a difference, while the other is fomenting petty dissent and division.

If Obama starts resorting to divisiveness, then he is not the man I think he is!

No war was ever started by a woman. Men have started all the wars and are guilty of all the atrocities of this earth throughout time. It Bush - who was voted into office because he was likeable - handled Iraq properly - it would have been over and done with a long time ago. It takes a real bunch of low-life weasles to point a finger at Hillary and blame her for the Iraq mess. A more important issue that Hillary's war vote - is all the stupid mens' votes to elect George Bush.
