I was a Clinton supporter and would've done anything and everything possible to make sure that the "Women's Century" as I saw it became a reality, just as I was routing for Segolene Royal in France. Then from nowhere Obama entered the race. When I heard the man speak for the first time, I heard of all I had yearned for all my life. I heard someone for the frist time speak to me, for me and about me. He spoke in a new and fresh political language, of realities I can relate to, of hope that is captivating of the endless possibiliteis of tomorrow. He got my attention and made me for the FIRST TIME want to become part of the political process. In a word, he got my ATTENTION. The more I listened to him, the less appealing became. Hillary has her qualities quite allright, but they fade into insignificance in comparison to Obama's and his message. However, I have also been listening to Mrs Clinton. The more I listen to her, the more I see that her rhetorics and strategies belong to the past. We are in 21st century and cannot go back to the 19th, not even to the 20th century. No we can't!
