I am a MAN, and I AM voting for Hillary.
Nothing to do with gender.

Nothing to do with race.

Everything to do with who I think can best lead this nation at this time.

Hillary is by far the best prepared and most experienced and most brilliant candidate in this race, and her being a beautiful and sexy woman is just a bonus from my point of view.

6. I didn't appreciate being told that I would vote for her because we shared a gender
That's sexist in my book. It's not that I don't want her for President because she's a woman (i've wanted a woman president since I was a wee thing), I don't want her because there is a candidate out there who more closely matches my platform. Would that he were a woman, but he isn't.

8. Fair enough.
But she most closely follows and supports the issues that are important to me. We can disagree on this but I hope the country thinks my issues are their issues as well. If so, HRC is the one to vote for.

10. Well, truth be told, for me it's a win/win
If my candidate wins, it's an uber win but any of the top three will be fine. As well, we will not make the mistake that we made in 1992, of deciding that we had worked long and hard and could kick back and enjoy the fruits of our labor. This election is just one step in putting the power back where it belongs - with the people! I feel sorry for any one of our candidates who thinks that winning is the finish line, because they are so, so wrong. Code Pink isn't going away, Cindy Sheehan and the people she mobilized aren't going away. All the people who ended up on this website because of the selection of 2000, or the power grab of 2001, or ___________, are not going away. We'll have a weeklong celebration, no matter which of ours won, and then we will be on their ass night and day, day and night. There will be no free ride. Ask Chairwoman (you're not my constituents!) Pelosi about that. We made a grave error in 1992 and we will not make it again!

9. Of course not.
But at most talk or predictions was about a possible shift inside a demographic group, in this case women, not an expectation that all women would suddently have to vote for another woman regardless of all other factors at play. Your individual choice has to be based on all the factors and how you rank them and why. It was.

11. Yes, but up here in Seattle, the vagina vote has been pushed hard
They're making it into a PC thing. It's kind of creepy and while a higher percentage of Seattlites are thoughtful voters, PC is something that works better on us than it should. Not me personally, but I've seen it plenty. My boyfriend likes to say he's never met anyone less enamored with the power cult. On paper, that sounds like I'm anti-power but that isn't it at all. I'm against being strongarmed.
