Letters to the Editor

Ms. Clinton
I'm an Obama supporter. I'm a white, middle aged Southern male. I have always decried and denounced the level of sexism that Sen. Clinton has had to endure. It is good that you help point out the ways in which this is unfair to Sen. Clinton. That is still not reason enough to elect her President.
While not anywhere near as obvious and confrontational, the Clintons have engaged in some pretty scandalous, however extremely subtle, veiled racism, intentional or not, toward Obama's candidacy. This does not excuse the sexism that she has endured and is not a good enough reason to make him President.
I wish that we could focus on their voting records, their policy positions, their plans, their vision and their character without regard to race or sex and stop with this messy, unwinnable, ugly identity politics.
