Thanks for this. I agree completely, and I’m going to post it on my blog, too.

However, I am still perplexed by the high percentage number of her supporters who have said they will not vote for Obama

Have they? See, I’ve heard way more Obama supporters say they wouldn’t vote for Hillary if she got the nomination than I have the other way round.

I think it’s natural for the losing ’side’ to be a little bitter and say things they don’t mean so soon after the defeat. Give them time, they’ll come around!

I’ve been shocked at the venom leveled at her, and it made me feel there was still a long, long way to go in changing attitudes towards women. I mean, how dare she? Even presume she could be president?

As you say, there is a little girl somewhere in the US who, thanks to Hillary’s work now, one day will be president. And that is good.

I completely agree with you. However, I am still perplexed by the high percentage number of her supporters who have said they will not vote for Obama. Clinton and Obama are so very close in their goals for our country, especially when compared to McCain, so I don’t understand why the reluctance to vote for Obama. I *want* to believe that her supporters care about issues first and foremost before gender, but then why avoid voting for someone so close to her agenda?
