And the female vote goes to....

"We have spent a long time and traveled a long road to get to this point. That doesn’t bring us to the place where gender becomes the only thing or even the most important factor determining our decision.” -- Kate Michelman, senior adviser to the Edwards campaign.

So true.

This NYT article talked about the possibility of Obama winning over the feminist side of society. The article featured many quotes from many feminists , who were struggling to choose between loyalty and reality. Loyality to the cause of feminism- equality for women. The reality that Obama is a lot more progressive than Clinton. Obama said in s peech that he knows and understands the strength of a woman. He spoke of his mother, a single mother who embodied woman empowerment. And he spoke of his wife who is strongminded and forthright of her opinion. But what really struck the feminists in the story was that Obama had the potential of moving beyond the pettiness of politics..beyond the partisanship and towards the betterment of the United States.
Author ALice Walker described Obama as "someone who honors the feminine values of caring for all."

And from what I have been reading Clinton seems to be surviving mostly on female votes while Obama has virtually equal support from both sexes. Obama has the potential of bringing our country forward because he understands that true democracy does not lie between the red tape of our politics. Unlike Clinton, who constantly moves closer nd closer to centre, Obama sticks to what he believes and that is in his HOPE. And Oprah will be joining him shortly on the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire caucus. Oprah NOW you have somehting to prove. I agree with your choice. Completely.
