Camille Paglia gives me the willies.
I just saw photo of her on drudge and she is the definition of willies. Why do we care what this female shrek says?
I plan to vote for Barack Obama in the Pennsylvania primary because he is a rational, centered personality who speaks the language of idealism and national unity. Obama has served longer as an elected official than Hillary. He has had experience as a grass-roots activist, and he is also a highly educated lawyer who will be a quick learner in office. His international parentage and childhood, as well as his knowledge of both Christianity and Islam, would make him the right leader at the right time. And his wife Michelle is a powerhouse. The Obamas represent the future, not the past.

“Young feminists are asking why there hasn’t been a woman president and automatically blaming it on male sexism.”
If that is what young feminists are doing they’re all dingbats. There is a simple MATHEMATICAL reason why there has not been a woman president and it is so simple no one can see it. For years I have amused myself sometimes by asking people why we have not had a woman president and have been very amused by all the wide ranging answers which have nothing to do with the real reason.
Women are the majority of registered voters in this country, whoever they want to put in the white house is their decision and theirs alone, no mere man can stand in the way. As soon as women decide they WANT to put a woman in the oval office it will happen! All the other excuses are merely fantasy. If women really wanted Hillary Clinton she would be the president NOW. When they had the chance to make her the nominee of the democratic party they did not, they let her be shoved aside by a totally unqualified mystery man whose origins are unknown. That is the main reason she should drop out now, she cannot win with American women and she certainly is not going to win without them.
I conducted my own personal poll for a while, asking women if they would vote for a woman to be president. I never got a quick answer, the reaction was always what you would expect from someone who never expected such a question. The results, believe it or not, were one hundred percent no after taking some time to think about it. Not one told me yes. My own unscientific belief is that if the right woman were to run she would get much more support from men than from women. Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think so.
