The first woman President should be the President because she loves America, has a good head on her shoulders, and is truly the best candidate, not because she’s a woman.

Also, as an independant who voted for Obama, I must admit that both Democratic Candidates leave a bit to be desired in certain areas, but at least Obama can run his own campaign. Hillary just can’t get her act together. I mean, everyone one in her camp has been arguing about who is not in charge and then suddenly flip-flopping: a lack of loyalty by those closest to her politically says a lot. Also, I admit this is total speculation, but she really seems as though she wants the title of the first woman President, but for her own glory, not anyone else’s.

I just have become less and less entranced by Obama as I’ve heard more from him.

I was blown away by him at the convention, but his speeches since, and his performances in the debates, have just left me wondering about him, and more than a little upset at being sold ‘change’ when in reality, he takes earmarks, he is lobbying the superdelegates and is now putting out ‘disinformation’ about Hillary that has ALREADY been proven false, but continues to claim is ‘accurate.’ I am VERY disappointed in seeing the same-old same-old when being told that he is going to ‘change Washington.’ I don’t mind him playing the game, just don’t do it while telling me you’re NOT.

I used to say, “I’d love to see them both on the ticket, and I’d be happy with either one.” Now, I’m not so sure I’ll vote for Obama in November if he’s the nominee.

I posted on the day of my primary too. thinking I was going to go one way…..
and I went another.
I really wanted that day where I told my daughter, “and I took you to vote for hillary clinton.”
ah! It didn’t happen.
OH, the conflict inside!

Because the ice and my accompanying migrain and the effing traffic that locked down this city prevented most everyone I know from making it. 4/5 local voters agree. I think.

I’m also glad I don’t live there so I don’t have to make that decision. :)

I am the Marylander who would have voted for Obama. For me, it’s always been about the best individual candidate regardless of race, gender or ethnicity. I do have a question, though, for those supporting Clinton because she is a woman – would you have voted for Elizabeth Dole had she been on the ticket in 2000? Purely hypothetical, of course, but if gender is a main issue… Food for thought. Love you mammaloves!

I’m with you on the heartache over not filling in the Hillary circle this morning. In fact, think my female parts are still in shock. But I had to go with my head…and for me, that was Obama.

I think it’s funny about everyone reporting what time they voted and who was there. My mom was on email to me this morning bright and early reporting that she voted at 6:30 am and it was just her and one other person. Feeling like a part of history, I think.

Feels nice.
