Sex and Race in the Elections

WARNING! The article you are about to read is tongue in cheek. Serious political pundits, beware.

So with that out of the way let's talk politics. Did I draw you in with the word 'sex'?

It's a schoolyard scuffle between Hillary and Obama. We need to call in Supernanny to sort this one out. Someone's going to end up in the naughty corner very soon.
Obama screams "the other kids don't like you" and Hillary retorts, "shut up, rookie". Then we have poor Edwards, the overlooked, middle child. "Mammy, look at me, please, I'm being good, not like those other two." He'll probably start acting up soon just to get some attention.

I've read a lot of vitriolic comments online lately. There's so much venom out there, coming mostly from people on the same side of the political fence! It all seems to focus around race and gender. Who's better, they squabble, a black man or a woman? They even dragged Oprah into the debate. Apparently she favors Obama over Clinton and some female viewers called her a traitor. First of all, why should we give a rat's derriere about a TV personality's favorite candidate? Doesn't Oprah have enough to do anyway? Secondly, these are people who watch daytime TV - enough said! I did get lured in though. Some man in Florida (I'll find you!) said that all women were stupid. I was not going to let him get away with that. No sir!

So why are Democrats turning into little monsters right now - countrywide? Why do Clinton supporters and Obama supporters hate each other? Because people are excited and maybe, just a little surprised - two minorities are running for the first time at once. We're watching history in the making - a woman and a black man have a shot at being President. You can't ignore race and gender however much you try and say 'it should be all about the issues'. The Dems should be proud of being the instrument of change, but instead they're at each others throats. Oops I lapsed into serious discourse. I apologize.
