My post wasn't aimed at people who've decided to vote Dem no matter who was on the ticket. It's aimed at people who simply can't stomach voting for Obama because of the misogyny in the press. If indeed you are one of the people who sees yourself as voting in "gender solidarity" in protest of HRC's mistreatment, then I would heartily suggest that you give your vote to a woman who is far closer to HRC's values than McCain and would actually mean that those values (rather than your "hurt feelings") of women in status positions, women dictating policy, and women as capable representatives of all people get play when pundits talk about your influence on the Democratic ticket's chances regardless of whether or not the Dems win this year.

McKinney does have a mixed reputation, as it were, but if you see her platform and her statements I think it's fair to see that she makes the right stand on a lot of them -- going farther than anyone in the Dem party on calling bullshit over the last 8 years. Coordinate, speak out, reach out -- if you all make contact with McKinney you might make her a better candidate and communicator and people can see that there are more women in leadership positions than just HRC.

Thanks for reading.
