109. As an Edwards man
and, frankly, an outside observer of this feud, I don't get it, generally. But this comment, I just wonder about. What exactly makes Obama not a good man? Does that imply that Hillary is a good woman? I will say with JE dropping out, I'm leaning towards Obama. The reasons for me are very simple. As a gay person, I look to see who is for repealing DOMA and who isn't. I look to see who is for repealing DADT and who isn't. I look to see who is for the Uniting American Families Act (because my partner is from another country) and who isnt'. Obama is for complete repeal of DOMA, Hillary is not. In fact, she believes that the portion of DOMA allowing states to not recognize marriages done in another state should be kept. She is for the UAFA, and for repealing DADT. Close as they are, she is not as good as Obama on these issues. Now, back to this "good man" "good woman" stuff...what makes him not a "good man" and her, by extension, a "good woman?" I just don't get it.
