Asolutley. I also think she should run as a Independent if they don't/

I think she should be hung if she gets the nomination . I also think Obama should get hung if he gets the nomination .
Can't the Democrats come up with a better candidate ?

Hillary Clinton is the strongest woman senator in Congress. Imagine that, you're offered the best, check out the record and the things she has done for Americans as well as other countries that have progressed in her life time. If the party does not have her as the nominee I will WRITE HER IN. She has more time and experience than the remaining candidates. She's already lived in the White House so she's not after the glory of living there. She wants to be the PRESIDENT for ALL the PEOPLE.

Um, newleap, here's a question for you: you stated that "Hillary Clinton is the strongest woman Senator in Congress."

Why didn't you simply say "strongest Senator in Congress"? Her position as Senator is definitely a "qualifier", but her gender is not a qualification. Are you supporting her only BECAUSE she is a woman, or because she is a strong Senator?

This is the problem with this year's election. People are stuck in a cycle of rooting for their "team", ie: the person with whom they share a skin color or gender. Vote for the individual whom you believe will do the best job, not on the tangents.

newleap, thanks for your response. I just find it interesting for people to bring up her gender when it is irrelevant, that's why I pointed it out. Saying that she is a strong senator has more credibility than saying she is a strong woman senator...it's almost patronizing, as if to say: she is a strong senator, for a woman. You see what I mean? Kind of like when Joe Biden gave a "back-handed" compliment to Senator Obama, calling him "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean"...he could have left out the first six words and it would have been a compliment instead of an insult.

I think it would be exceptional if Hillary Clinton were to get the nomination. The children in American would get to see the President and former First Lady. Then they would also get to see the former President and First Gentleman. Now that is one thing I don't expect I will have the opportunity to ever see again. I just think it would be a childhood lifelong memory for our children today. That is better than being of a gender or skin color. That would be an accomplishment. It could still happen look at the numbers in the popular vote. In Texas it was televised and a gentleman stated, "I voted for Obama but I'm a Republican and I will vote Republican in the general election."

Just thought I would touch base. I talked with a Florida voter tonight and asked what they thought about their votes not being counted. They said lets not talk about that we are pissed. We touched base on the idea of the write in vote and they are willing to support getting the message out. I talked with a woman who did not vote in the primary and she plans on writing Hillary in for the general election. I plan on starting to register new voters on the first of the month for the general election I recommend all Hillary supports do the same.
