Obama Takes Washington
February 9, 2008
Thank you Sean and Maxine…..
The Washington that Obama took? It resides above Oregon. You knew the “r” word would have to be used at some point to describe the Obama win. For more on the rout, check in here.

The Vigilant Lens 
According to the demographics, I should be voting for Hillary Clinton: I’m a white, 60-year-old, highly educated woman from the Northeast. But I’m voting for Obama. I’ve waited all my life for a viable woman candidate for the presidency, but this is not the right woman. I want a woman of the highest ability and virtue, who would serve as a glorious role model to all young women. Hillary Clinton is not that woman.
She rode into power with her husband, and together they’ve acquired a long and seriously flawed history of self-serving and secretive financial and political dealings. The most cursory research will prove that true. She started out her political life supporting the racist Barry Goldwater. She is as comfortable with deception and trickery as George Bush. When I hear woman saying, “Oh, but that’s how you get things done in Washington,” I literally cringe.
I am passionately supporting Barack Obama. He can beat the Republicans; she cannot. Obama has attracted Independents and even Republicans to his camp, and in a general election they would vote for him, but not for Clinton. Clinton voted for the war, and has never apologized for it. Obama has spoken out against it from the beginning. Obama brings us hope–and not just that. Take a serious look at his ideas and experience.
Please, I beg of you, Sisters young and old: wait for the right woman. Then we can be proud.

You don’t have to convince me. I am a 62 year old woman and it makes me ill to hear all these women voting for her BECAUSE she’s a woman. When women say that, I immediately know they don’t know jackshit about what’s going on in this country.
I’m not a huge Obama fan, in fact I even changed my vote to Kucinich in the caucus yesterday, and there is a method to my madness. I want his policies to be considered and his people fought for when it goes national.
