@ softdog
I don't think you have read the entire thread and therefore do not understand the context. Nowhere do I argue that Clinton should become president before Obama because she is a woman.
That's nonsense. I don't even argue that women should vote for Clinton because she is a woman. I also think it is silly for black people to vote for Obama because she is a man.
Softdog, if you are a man and not a feminist, it is possible that you simply do not understand the argument going on here which is far more about feminism than about Clinton or Obama.
My first post in this thread related to the assumption that women who have felt insult be sexism from the Obama camp have no obligation to give up the distaste that they feel and vote for Obama in the fall. They just don't.
I won't be voting for McCain, but the level of overt sexism that some Obama supporters have directed at Clinton make it hard for many of us to contemplate voting for Obama. I don't blame any one for choosing not to do so.
Moreover, as to your so-called quote of Clinton racism, it is utterly lame. Please see my post to micro ms. on the same quote. The commas separate the the groups.
