Sorry, I'm a middle aged white female professional who has felt the glass ceiling, but I can't identify with Hillary or with Geraldine Ferraro AT ALL. Ferraro's recent racist comments regarding Obama's skin color are despicable. And though I can fully appreciate what Hillary has accomplished, I have to disapprove of what she has done to get there. Not even mentioning the many shady deals in the Clintons' past (or Bill's out-of-control libido), I am appalled by what Hillary is doing to the Democratic party right now. It's a power play she should be ashamed of, This attitude of "take no prisoners and seize power at any cost." Her insistence on taking this to the superdelegate level and cutting a back room deal that disenfranchises the actual voters is a reprehensible replay of the 2000 Bush/Gore debacle.

The problem with stealing elections is that it opens the door for a political free-for-all in which the individual voter's ballots have no meaning and elections are only for show. That's called fascism, dictatorship, or communism (take your pick). It certainly is not democracy. So, even though I'm a feminist, I can't be swayed by feminist rhetoric when I see crimes against the American people being committed in the name of "girl power." I want a female President too. But consider how damaging it will be to women's future chances in politics, if our first female Commander-in-Chief is hated by the people for her skulduggery and election fraud.

And remember how Geraldine Ferraro's cheating on her taxes KILLED women's political chances at the Presidency until now, 25 years later. I don't want to give away the next 25 years to Hillary Clinton's mistakes.

Oh, yeah, Hillary hasn't released her tax returns yet. Are you old enough to remember what happened to Ferraro's candidacy after she released her tax returns? She got flushed down the toilet, and with her went the dreams of millions of American women.

Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll still be alive in 25 years, when Obama's daughter will run for President.

Finally, a logical feminist posting on this board. I empathize with you. As a black man, I'm so offended when I hear or see self-anointed black leaders use and abuse the race card for their own gain (Sharpton, Jackson, etc.). It diminishes and undercuts true, honest, grassroot efforts for change. I used to be OK with Hillary. When this process started, I was leaning to Edwards. By the time the primaries came to my state, I had to choose btw Hillary and Obama and it was an easy choice. Hillary not only turned me off w/this garbage, if she did get the nomination by her politricks I'd either vote for McCain or abstain. But I can't vote for Hillary. And by the sounds of Nancy Pelosi's comments recently, she seems disappointed in Hillary too.

I AM A HILLARY SUPPORTER I WILL SEE HOW SHE DEAL WITH THIS I HOPE SHE PUT AN END TO THIS QUICK BEING SHE IS HERE IN PHILLY

I completely agree and was going to post the same thing before I read this.

I will probably be flamed for this, but I am starting to get embarrassed by the women Hillary supporters. There was a time when I would have loved to see even this woman be President, but the more I see of her, the less I can support her. It used to be that I was FOR Obama, but not really against Hillary. I am becoming more and more AGAINST Hillary (though I won't resort to name-calling and low-brow tactics).

I'd like to say it's a generational difference among many women (I am a GenXer), but I see from your post that it's not really that cut and dried either. :/

Well here is another bra-burning, 60's marching, feminist who is becoming embarrassed by her own gender. I have concussions from those glass ceilings! I prevailed in the end, but on my own...not on the coat tails of a husband or because I played the gender card and had a pity party. NOW, and Gloria Steinem, told us we could think for ourselves, we didn't need anyone telling us what to do, guess right...they're right. And NOW isn't going to start telling me what to do now!
