We didn't go to the caucuses today, because we are happy with either candidate and I'd rather find out from everyone else who is more electable.
I think Obama will be a fantastic candidate and will generate a lot of excitement. In fact yesterday I heard that excitement: kids with Obama signs standing at a traffic circle cheering with hundreds of cars honking along with them. I will be behind him 100% if he wins.
Nonetheless, I feel that so much of the criticism of Hillary is misogyny, including the endless canard of electing "the Clintons". Misogyny runs so deeply and darkly that we hardly perceive it. We equally elected the Bushes, and are comfortable with the President's closest advisor being a librarian. I think we will lose the best opportunity in sight for a superbly qualified woman president who is solid on the issues I care about.
