It's worth a try—because there is still romance to the idea of a woman in the White House, spattered and compromised though Hillary's candidacy might be.

It was hard not to be caught up in the euphoria at the Columbus Athenaeum when her primary results started to come in. I found myself jammed between two exultant Columbus ladies, a high-fiving yoga-studio owner in her 50s and a human resources director of a software company roughly the same age. They were raising the roof along with the band to the old 1965 McCoys hit "Hang on Sloopy."

For all the invisible women, it's the only anthem they've got. And for their sake alone, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton should not give up the fight.

    I am voting for the most electable candidate .....who is the most qualified in all areas.....passionate about helping people.......a strong leader..........can bring the democratic party together.....has experience speaking with leaders from all around the world.......as well as a great record in the Senate......and will come to work on day 1 with a real plan for our economy, the war in Iraq, health care, keeping our country safe.....and many others. I will vote for Hillary Clinton for President.
    I have been doing much of my own research on all the candidates as I realize in this economy the different news Medias are hurting for dollars and right now the political ads are making up 80% of ads and income.
    That means to me , that whatever keeps ratings up, is what they will keep putting on. Not a bad idea to look things up first hand. Obama has his goods points also , but I believe Hillary will win. HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT.........SHE CARES.......GO HILLARY.......

    I will vote republican which I haven't done in five elections if Obama get the nomination. I don't trust his idea of hope and change especially since he can't even define what hope and change is or means. I definitely do not trust his affiliations to haters of the United States and white people either. Also with Florida and Michigan blocking his way to the White House all of this may be a moot point.
