    @ Malusinka

    "Let's face it, Edwards is out of the race, which does say how far we've come. He's the white man."

    Good grief! I never thought I would have to say something like this in defense of a man. Really I didn't! But Malusinka, that was a sexist and racist comment. I surely hope you didn't mean it the way it sounds. Would you please care to revise?

    I just don't think it is progress that someone is automatically eliminated just because he is a white man. I say this most sincerely as the hated AKA feminist of many Broadsheet postings attacking sexism against women. Say it isn't so Malusinka!
