Speaking for myself, I think there are more than enough reasons to
reject more Clintonism without addressing the gender of candidates. To
imply or baldly state that too many whites are voting on strictly
gender-based motives is to miss the larger point in all of this.

I see this election cycle as an exercise in futility and I'm trying to
decide whether to vote at all. Is it a coincidence that the Mayan
calendar also ends in 2012?
