Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!

Young women are growing increasingly frustrated with the fanatical support of Barack and gleeful bashing of Hillary.

    caucus vs ballot - this article missed the biggest point.

    I agree that the dynamic explained in this article is going on. Particularly that women may be afraid to speak up in support of Hillary because of ridicule from others in the Barack-cult and otherwise.

    Consider how this effects the bottom line of the election numbers. Oh look, Barack's been winning the caucus states while Hillary's been winning the secret ballot states. And there you go, an advantage in a very close race.

    I like Barack ...for 2012.

    I really want to see what Hillary can do once she gets the chance. I just hope she gets a fair chance.
