I'm not a Hillary supporter either. But I believe I've pretty well stuck to criticizing her policies, what I think were bad choices of things for her to say during debates, other bad choices she's made (um, can you say James Carville?), where her money comes from - same stuff I'd criticize any candidate for.

Now, the muckety-muck about her 'crying' - I've avoided those threads. Never read them, didn't watch the video and won't. Because it's petty, stupid, and sexist. I've seen some pretty shocking Hillary threads here myself.

I don't think she can win or will win the nom. I hope she doesn't because I don't she can win in the GE (I think the same of Obama). If either of them do win or are the nom, I will support them (esp. considering the alternative).

But man, some of the Hillary threads are really over the top. Someone even posted that she gets 'special breaks' or a 'free ride' because she's a women.

That's a load of bunk. If anything, it's quite the contrary. The deck has been stacked against her from Day 1 because of BILL, and because she's a woman - she's under uber-scrutiny and has to walk a humanly-impossible tightrope as a candidate.

I respect her. I admire her for being able to accomplish what she has in the face of all this. I don't think she should be president - but for reasons which have naught to do with her sex.
