Women, Its the candidate not the gender this time

For my first blog post, I wanted to talk about something a bit more conventional than I normally would. I am the guy who is going to blog A LOT about the narcotic war, the history of prohibition, criminal justice system, and voting trends based on gender, race, etc. I hope you all will keep an open mind when reading my blogs as I will keep an open mind on some of your responses. I really enjoy feedback and new angles on ideas and concepts.

But, for now, I want to touch on the woman contender for the Democratic nomination for President: Hillary Clinton.
NPR radio did a story about how some women voters were or would be disappointed if she did not win the nomination, blaming the situation on gender prejudices, sexism etc.
I just wanted to do a quick blog about that topic because the radio article struck a cord with me. I can see how that feeling could happen. Socially, women have been made to feel second rate and always the runner up for things. They had to fight for their right to own land, to vote, birth control, and fighting their way up the social ladder. No big shock there that the first reaction would be to think the presidential nomination is any different. But I believe it is, atleast here. Though I feel all the canidates are weak here, Republica and Democrate included, I just dont trust Hillary. It does not have a thing to do with her being a woman. Its the candidate and their nature. I feel like she's all politics and no soul. As if I as a voter am merely just a pawn in her political game of chess. Not that I trust Obama either. But this blog is not about him.
Women must feel this as well. Because women voters are abandoning Hillary and throwing their vote to Obama. And this is telling, because as a group, women can be a smashing devestating source of votes for canidates. Hillary could have easily wrapped this nomination thing up by now if women as a group were convinced of her potential as a President, but they obviously are now. But do not feel bad women. This candidate has a shady history, a wrap sheet of questionable voting and comments that are coming back to haunt her, and I will not waste our time reviewing and picking apart.

I firmly believe if a personable candidate did come along, that did give an honest vibe out, and wasnt willing to do anything or say anything to get nominated, that canidate could easily get the party nomination and even win the Presidency, and the fact that the candidate is a women, would probably play in her favor that time, rather than against her
