Obama needs to be an albatross for ALL democrats.

Whoa there. Not for ALL. Locally here in North Georgia, we do not want the Republican who was in office eight years ago and practically ruined this County financially) to win as County Commissioner. We want the Democrat who is fiscally conservative and has lowered property taxes (again) to make us one of the lowest taxed Counties in Georgia to win again. Please do not make generalized statements. Maybe at the Federal Level (Senate and House) and possibly at the State Level, but not necessarily. There are a LOT of good Democrats in State Government. Sometimes one MUST vote for 'the man' and not 'the Party affiliation.' Especially if you know who and what 'the man' stands for.

This goes for women, too.

I thought Zell did the state good too. I think there is a distinct difference in the Southern Democrat and the Liberal Democrat.
