6. Hi, Katzenkavalier. I like these exercises you are asking us to consider and
hope that as many people as possible will see the long-term benefit of weighing candidates' attributes and virtues.

Of which there are many.

Recommended.

17. "the first woman president" duh "gender" double duh
Edited on Fri Oct-05-07 01:12 AM by McCamy Taylor
That is like all anyone will talk about forever and ever. She will be famous until the end of time for being the first woman president. This will be an election for the history books. Your grandkids will ask "Did you vote for Hillary? Did you vote for Hillary?" No one will even remember who her husband was.

You guys need to put this all in perspective. This is as big as the first moon walk. And no, I am not a Hillary supporter. But I know how history works.
