It is very exciting to get to choose between a black person and a female person for the Democratic candidate. However, if you choose BECAUSE they are black or female, you are missing the point, IMHO.
I can't believe that my use of the word "bitch", followed by a winky smiley, would be the cause of such backlash, NA. Rest assured, I placed a winky there because I knew it was an over-the-top thing to say. I suppose I could have followed it up with "haha, isn't it crazy, I'm just kidding, how dare I, eh?" I thought the smiley made that obvious. Sorry to get your dander up over a dirty word.
Hey, if you want to call Obama an asshole, go right ahead. Oh wait, that wouldn't make anyone angry. It would be a non-sequitur, because no one ever claims he's an asshole. Hmm, interesting.
<winky smiley means this is supposed to be funny - Your Mileage May Vary>
For some reason you're interpreting enthusiasm for Obama and dislike for Clinton as divisiveness and bashing. I don't know why it would be so hard to accept that it could be, as Kevy similarly put it, enthusiasm and dislike.
I, and hundreds of thousands of disillusioned voters, haven't voted for a major candidate in well over a decade. I've had no reason to. Obama gives me a reason. I agree with Morrigoon - I wouldn't vote for Hillary this fall. Ok, maaaaybe if the race was really close in California....which it won't be.
Anyway - I, too, am having fun following the process.
