Asking specifically who you voted for at or near a poll can be construed as voter intimidation.SheCodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781431886213930930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21083673.post-53543002298990048992008-01-11T10:32:00.000-08:002008-01-11T10:32:00.000-08:00I'd like to give a women's prospective on the New ...I'd like to give a women's prospective on the New Hampshire primary...<BR/>Let me start off by saying I'm going to be talking about something taboo in America racial and sexual discrimination.. Think of it this way how many people in America are racist versus sexist? So I set up this scenario for you because I have heard the excuse that Obama didn't get votes because of closet racists. (I'm not saying this is not the case in some situations) I just want you to take yourself out of the role of male news anchor for a moment. What percentage of our population hold race as a factor? I think the majority would be white males? Now think of it this way in that same majority given the option to vote for a man or a woman how would they vote? My point is I believe people are more likely to set aside racial divides when it comes to orientation divides.. Men stick together. Now what happened in the New Hampshire primary? Where the polls wrong? I think not. What you have here is this. The media for days was so bias and so discriminating against Clinton it was obvious to all of us. I am an Obama supporter and it was disdaining to me. The media is directly responsible for her win in New Hampshire the coverage on Clinton in the days prior was so dreadful it motivated people in a way no campaign add or slogan could. As I watched the coverage on MSNBC the night of the primary it brought me to tears because I knew right away what was happening and it moved me. I found myself rooting for Hillary and laughing to myself at the denial on Chris Matthews face. Without the medias role there is no doubt in my mind Obama would have won, your polls were NOT wrong! BUT when there is such a blatant attempt to knock a woman down played out by the media, women will do something unprecedented stand together. A proud day to be a woman! It is also humorous that all your political analysts still haven't figured that out. And for all those that might say I am wrong that people will not set aside racial divides when it comes to sexual orientation. I beg you to look at history because in theory African Americans were given the right to vote over 50 years before women were! I hope other women will think of this as they decide to vote. I am taking a long hard look at it now.perrrfectionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05324999677866063870noreply@blogger.com
