Women's Work

Obama is a sexist. Remember all those sweetie comments? Whose with me on making a 3rd party? Our no. 1 rule will be that everyone's votes should always count and that everyone can always vote in a free and fair SECRET ballot. NO CAUCUSING! Which easily leads to voter intimidation and disenfranchisement. Let's have a true democratic party. The DNC can go to hell and take their crap rules with them!

Bonnie S., you said a mouthful. I'm a 39-year old white woman and Hillary and her ability to harness bitter women's venom and use it for her advantage sickens me. You are being manipulated! Wake up, please!

I am a 55 year old white woman from Florida who did not vote in the primary because they said it wouldn't count. Believe me Barack would have gotten a lot more votes if it had been a serious election!

No! Florida and Michigan broke DNC rules. Hillary was only too happy to comply with those rules until she realized her campaign was sinking. Now, she compares Florida's "disenfranchisement" of voters to african americans' poor treatmeant in the civil rights era. How low can she go? I guess we'll find out.

Sexism is still very much alive in the U.S., especially stereotypes about acceptable personality traits for women. But the only thing that women, and men who care about the future of their daughters, can do is continue to speak up whernever you see it and stand up against it. I'm grateful for the WomenCount group.
Whatever decision the DNC Committee makes, all any of can do is live with it; the Rules give the committees those powers. But we all retain the right to control our own votes and money; and neither Obama nor the DNC will get mine.

Don't be mistaken for it is more than just women's groups that are pissed at the party leadership and the super delegates. I am a white male who supports Hillary as the first Woman President of the United States of America. And, I do know that we others, be it white male etc, are totally put off by the hijacking of the party. This does not portend well for November.

If Obama had been a white woman, he would never even have gotten on the ballot, because of his empty resume.

It is amazing how people feel that being black in this country somehow is a privilege. Lets review Hillary's white privilege. First, her name alone screams entitlement. Second, she has no more legislative experience than Obama. I do not count decorating the White House, shaking hands, or being married to Bill as diplomacy of any sort. Also, she continues to use the victimized white female persona to gain sympathy.

Correction, Obama did call for a negotiation with FL and MI, cause remember a loser is a loser. Hillary CAN'T mathematically win. I guess doing math is another plus for the educated voters.

Mchieco..

If it were the other way around and Clinton had the deligates to win....The press and the DNC would have written Obama off months ago and Sharpton and Jackson would have been saying, "The country was not ready for a black man."

Hillary was always supposed to win. The press and country has continued to give the monster repect because of her husband. Hillary has been given a free ride by this country and it is time for her to step aside and get off the bus!

I would also like to comment on these pastors and their totally RADICAL (yes, I said radical) ranting.
How can you not think someone is not radical and racist when they are screaming at the top of their lungs such vile, hateful things. But the REAL thing that was disturbing was that the WHOLE congregation was on it's feet cheering him on. Obama should have TOTALLY and completely removed himself from that church and anyone else that is spewing such hatred long ago.

SHAME ON YOU!!!!!! YOU ARE SUPPORTING SOMEONE WITH THE MORALS OF AN ALLEY CAT!!!
SHE IS NOT THE MESSIAH FOR WOMEN. YOU AND YOU GROUP WILL SET WOMEN BACK FOR DECADES. YOU SUPPORT LIEING,WHINING,CRYING,EXPLIOTATION OF POOR PEOPLE,AND ENCOURAGING RACISM. NOT TO MENTION A WOMEN THAT HAS NOT PAID HER CAMPAIGN BILLS...SO THOSE BLUE COLLAR VOTERS WAIT FOR THEIR MONEY. YOU SUPPORT SOMEONE WHO THROWS TANTRUMS LIKE A CHILD AND REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER OWN WORDS OR HER OWN CAMPAIGNS MISMANAMGEMENT. I AM A WOMEN WHO IS APPAULED

I am a 58 year old white woman NOT supporting Hillary. I too have faced sexism, but my life struggles pale against racism. I am tired of her whining and sense of entitlement. I was annoyed at the way her healthcare agenda was dismissed and the hypocrisy of the right--criticizing her for standing by Bill while lauding Republican wives that stand by their men (family values) I worked in DC and while there was sexism, things were much improved from when I grew up, and women wanting to advance. There are all kinds of isms standing in people's way. MI and FL broke the rules

Now the caucuses are unfair? How funny. Everything's to blame except for Hillary herself. Face it, she laid a goose egg.

Thank you nice article. You know I wish some mdia outlet would really explain Florida because it is not as simple as people put it. In 2000 the craziness of having a man be president when someone else might have truly been voted for really well upset Floridian Dems period because the votes were not represented accordingly thanks to lack of certain rules. So fast forward to 2008 and the result of a long push by Florida dems was to finally have the rule that all votes could be counted, but thanks to the republican group it was a package deal to include moving the primary. Not many people know that it was a package deal that included primarily including the ability to have all votes counted that caused the demise of 2000 but also happened to include moving the primary. It was nice the movie about 2000 came out so at least some people can begin to realize the anti-american atmosphere we have to fight against here in Florida. We are in America and all votes should count as much back in 2000 as in 2008 so us Floridians will continue to fight for that simple thing that has long been taken for granted here in the mighty US of A. Like the movie someone please tell it how it really is. the sad thing is had they counted back in Jan it might have turned the tide on the entire nomination.

Call it a protest or whatever you want Newsweek. We simply want our voices to be heard and we are tired of the gool-ole-boys, as inept as they are, still coming out on top when the woman sitting right next to them is the better of the two. You ain't seen nothing yet.
