I voted for Barack Obama,not because he's male OR mixed-race but because I think he's THE RIGHT candidate for the job,the country,the people and the party.
For sure,if Clinton had the been the right person(regardless of sex) I would have voted for her,but I don't believe SHE was the right person for the job,nor had the right spouse,(ask Monica and play Bills perjury tapes again) which makes a BIG difference.
When the right female candidate comes along for the job,to be sure I would vote for her.
BUT,just because Hilary is female doesn't mean she IS RIGHT FOR THE JOB! And I will not SELL MY VOTE so selfishly and cheaply!
And,to hear Democratic party voters,who were loyal to Hilary now,bitterly, threaten to vote for McCain(Bush 3)is ludicrous,because they are neglecting the national picture and security of the Democratic party,as a whole(not to mention the future of the REPUBLICAN PARTY who can do much better without McCain!)by showing they were MORE LOYAL TO HILARY BECAUSE SHE IS WHITE or a WOMAN,not because SHE WAS RIGHT FOR THE JOB!!!!!
Seems to me the American voters who sell their votes so cheapily,have MORE OF A FOCUS,selfishly,on their own PERSONAL issues,rather than the issues of the Nation,and it's people,as a whole.
It's the 'I'm alright Jack/Jane'syndrome'!
They are so buried in their isolated communities,they don't even see how EXTINCT their own staus quo IS nationally,or internationally!
Read the article from The Guardian/U.K. for comments given by certain American voters in certain States and see HOW FAR some of America has NOT come from the old days of racism,sexual discrimination and SLAVERY! Alack and Alas!

We have just had 3 decades of abuse at the White House,and our country is in DEEP SH** politically with it's reputation in TATTERS,internationally.
Our children are dying/getting maimed,in a military occupation based on Republican administration lies,corruption and treachery to the American people and delibarate dishonesty,and violation of international LAWS,in the face of our international friends!
Not to mention a President AND 'VICE' President(appropriate title) who committed perjury to their OATH OF OFFICE by their very actions and decisions.Whilst holding the reins of power they crashed the 'cart' of America right into the ditch!
Doesn't that COME BEFORE a few female voters who are pissed off because 'their' female candidate withdraws? Grow up girls!
OR, male chauvinist voters pissed off because the only WHITE CANDIDATE is pulling out,leaving a 'black' guy in HER place???? Wake up guys!
Talk about racism and sexism on hime shores!!
They will vote for a woman,ONLY BECAUSE SHE IS WHITE,and to he** with her other political qualities or weaknesses?
Regardless of the fact that Hilary represented much of the dynastic,imperialistic,colonialist,ALMOST MONARCHICAL system which has held the head of Americas true Democracy,and it's citizens,DOWN THE TOILET FOR 3 DECADES!!!!
Why did America fight it's war of independance?
Were they just BORED or something?
Or did they want FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY FOR ALL,EQUALLY???

And now,faced with a mixed-race candidate,WHO THEY FORGET IS AMERICAN,they will SELL OUT TO ANOTHER POLITICAL PARTY WITH ENTIRELY DIFFERENT VALUES????
Talk about brainless!
America has had it's political head inside a stinking,corrupt,and treasonous Bush adminstrative 'toilet' for the LAST EIGHT YEARS,at OUR EXPENSE,not theirs!
Right now,the Democratic party look as if it has a REAL chance to come up for air,and FRESH smelling air AT THAT,to change our politics around,domestically AND INTERNATIONALLY,and show that we can be as intelligent and common-sensical as we can ARROGANT,insular and knuckle-headed!
But still,buried in the old dinosaur pit,are those voters,nurturing sweetly,their own personal racial and sexist beliefs who vote for a candidate based on that,rather than for the future of OUR NATION and OUR children!!!
Shame on them for not being able to see further than their OWN noses!
Their reasoning is embarrassing. No wonder world opinion of America has hit AN ALL-TIME LOW!!!
Give me a female candidate THAT'S RIGHT FOR THE JOB,and no prob!
But I will not sell my vote by putting my interests BEFORE those of MY Nation!
Because I'm racist or sexist,I'm AMERICAN!
