A simple, straightforward statement of the current state of affairs vis-s-vis Hillary women and the Democratic party.

Well said.

For all those upset women, there is Cynthia McKinney the Green Party candidate. Even her running mate is female. They don't have to vote for proven sexists like Obama or McCain. Even though the media pretend 3rd parties don't exist -- they're out there as an option.

LT Bohica sez:"For all those upset women, there is Cynthia McKinney the Green Party candidate. Even her running mate is female. "

You're kidding, right?

Yeah, her running mate is a woman, a hip-hop activist, who used the term hip-hop 18 times in her acceptance speach. You approve of the hip-hop-lifestyle?

Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia's Hip-Hop entry:
"... hip hop has come under fire for being too commercial, too commodified, too much about money and bling-bling. Artist Nas said it himself in his 2006 album Hip Hop is Dead. While this of course stirs up controversy, a documentary called The Commodification of Hip Hop directed by Brooke Daniel interviews students at Satellite Academy in New York City. One girl talks about the epidemic of crime that she sees in urban black and Latino communities, relating it directly to the hip hop industry saying “When they can’t afford these kind of things, these things that celebrities have like jewelry and clothes and all that, they’ll go and sell drugs, some people will steal it…” Many students see this as a negative side effect of the hip hop industry, and indeed, hip hop has been criticized all over the world for spreading crime, violence, and American ideals of consumerism."

That relate to your dream of how America should go forward over the next four-eight years? Not to mine.

I guess I should have been more specific. Let me now say "Are you really going to vote for John McCain, or anyone whose name is not Barack Obama?" You'd better keep that a secret, too.

Erm, what about men who liked Hillary?

Or was the only reason anyone should have voted beholden to her gender?

I was actually directing my original post to the women of PUMA and Just Say No Deal. These women strongly imply that they will vote for John McCain because Hillary Clinton was not treated fairly.

Let me add that if John McCain would be the next president, as women, they would not be treated fairly for the next 4 to 8 years!

Very pithy and well-said.

"Or was the only reason anyone should have voted beholden to her gender?"

Of course not, but they probably did comprise a goodly percentage of her most ardent supporters.

Surely it is apparent that the whole impetus behind the PUMA group is vindictiveness because they had been so blindly dedicated to having a woman president that that single issue trumped all others.

I'd wager that if they insist on stomping their widdwe feeties and staying home or voting for somebody other than Obama, they'd better be A-OK with being treated unfairly for the next thirty to forty years.

There are a couple of spots sure to open up on the Supreme Court in the next four years, and McCain is ON RECORD saying he'd fill them with more Alitos and Robertses.

Vote for a third party candidate to, like, totally express your deep seated pain and outrage, man?

Did you learn NOTHING in 2000?
