I am a 51 year old woman. I am supporting Obama. I will not let anyone tell me that I must vote for Hillary Clinton because she is a woman. I will not let anyone tell me that Ted Kennedy has betrayed me and all women by endorsing a man. I will exercise my right to vote, as I always have, by voting for the candidate who, in my opinion, will serve this country and ALL its citizens best. I believe that that candidate is Barack Obama. And, for the first time ever, I feel passionately about a presidential candidate - I believe that electing Obama is critical to this nation's future. It is not a woman thing, it is not a black thing, it is a people thing and that we can all get.
