Obama is a lightweight.

He is only in the race for a potential VP slot.

With Obama in the VP slot, Hillary can cement the female and black vote --- therefore, she wins. No argument.

There are too many women who will vote for her just because of her gender. They will outnumber the intelligent, informed female vote.

The only way to defeat Hillary/Obama would be something like a Rice/Steele ticket.

(yes, you have to play the same game)

Obama is a smooth talker
A cross between Bill Clinton and Jesse Jackson
IMO .. don't ingore him

I still insist that not all women will naturally fall all over a woman candidate. Maybe the media, Hollywood, and Oprah will tell us that American women are dying to vote for Hillary...but that won't make it so.

We non-feminazi women still prefer strong men as our leaders. It's just in our nature. Sure we love Condi and Annie C., but we swoon for Rummy, Dick C., and W when he's a cowboy.

I dont't think so. Men vote for men because they'd like to see "one of the guys" in office. Most women don't vote for women because they see successful women as competition and a thread. Women vote for the likes of Bill Clinton.

Obama is far more likely to attract the female vote than Hillary herself. What Hillary has going for her is what some journalist once called the "b*tch-factor": People see her as a b*tch, i.e. subconsciouly they believe that - other than Obama - she's tough enough for the job.
