Letters to the Editor

We can end all the bickering, because this outcome is inevitable:
There are more middle-class to upper-middle-class white women in the USA then there are minorities and young adults (primarily Obama supporters) combined.
These white women will vote for Hillary because she is a woman. Oh, sure - they will make obligatory denials about this (see this letter thread for examples), saying it's about who's best for president, etc...
But they will vote for her mainly if not solely because she is a woman. AND as I said above, their numbers advantage means Clinton will win the Dem nomination over Obama.
She will then promptly lose the national election to anyone who the GOP nominates; after all, so very very many people in this country hate Hillary...and the minorities and/or youth who were inspired by Obama will be too disillusioned to pretend to like/support a career divider/psuedo-centrist - the kind of white "liberal" woman who speaks about civil rights and then crosses the street when she sees a black man coming her way...
(and yes, there are plenty of such women - visit any private, expensive "liberal" college to get a sampling).
Bottom line - four more inevitable years of horrendous GOP rule.
Just do me/us one favor, Hillary: don't run again in 2012. One (failed) presidential campaign should be enough for your ego, shouldn't it? Thanks in advance.
