1. Right - women have it better than men in the US - or so say the men

2. Nothing worse than responding *before* you watch the clip...

I have little patience for that, I have to be honest.

Please watch the clip so you have the proper context, after which you can still disagree (in an informed way). And for future reference, often times the titles are ironic and or reflect the opposite sentiment, etc. Not necessarily here, but it's a much more nuanced answer to that question.

3. Hillary IS benefiting, so says this white woman!

There is nothing here I disagree with. He explained himself very well. I could see how you would be mad if you only listened to him for 10 seconds but hopefully you listened to more.

6. As a White Woman...

I agree with you. She is benefiting, indeed. I sometimes think that people just read the title and make assumptions. You have to listen to get the full story.

4. Hillary is full of it,and so is Ferraro...

I have never heard Obama say "vote for me because I am black" but I heard hillary the other night after the election mention in her speech various reasons to vote for her because she is a woman, she mention woman about six times..

5. "We're keepin' it REAL on TYT"

yeah.

BTW my own opinion is that it's Criminally Stupid to base your vote solely on gender or race. And I'm running into it in my own travels.

Criminally. Stupid.

7. Look, I may have looked at all of them but... in the end....

my vote came down to the issues. I liked Clinton until I understood how she voted for that disastrous war and then I stopped looking at her. Edwards looked good until why he voted for that disastrous war. I voted for Kerry because I didn't understand how he voted for this war. When I sought the facts about the war vote, I knew why he couldn't win.

Now we have a candidate in Obama who didn't vote for this war and spoke against it and he spoked to my values, my conscience. He seemed smarter, more thoughtful, more logical than the other two candidates. That's a leader.

Obama should be the president of the United States for the next 8 years and it doesn't have much to do with what he looks like. It has to do with his grasp of the issues I care about and that he is going to move this coutry forward for the better.

8. I really like what you said

That's why I support Barack Obama too. That's exactly how I feel.

10. To be fair, Edwards and Kerry both admitted that their votes were a mistake.

Edwards did it in a major op-ed for the Washington Post. Not saying that fixes things, just making the note.

9. Great analysis of the identity-based voting...

I hope that many DUers take a listen to the whole clip.

11. I hope so, but I doubt it n/t
