Bit late entering this discussion but voting for Hillary because she is a woman is definitely out. I agree that there has been enough of the Bush, Clinton, Bush families dominating the Whitehouse.

I didn’t vote for her in the primary either, but I can see her in a Cabinet position. GO OBAMA!! Obama is the kind of man who is smart enough to solve the problems that Bush and his minions have dumped on our country.

I know I’m late to this discussion, but I think at the least, Hillary’s really opened the door for the next woman to run. I’ve always considered myself an emancipated woman, but I didn’t vote for her in the primary and wouldn’t do so just because she’s a woman. That’s not enough for me. I’m voting for the person that I think is best suited for the job.

Hillary being a woman isn’t the only reason to vote for her. I’ve been a fan for may years, due to her fight for healthcare, families and education. But, hey, let’s face it: does the presidency require multi-tasking? Do you know many men that can actually multi-task well…without a computer??? Hillary’s had my vote for a long time, for many valid reasons, but it certainly doesn’t hurt that she’s one of us!

Don’t vote for Hillary because she’s a woman, vote for her because she is the only presidential candidate with the experience to handle the problems our country is faced with. Look at it as a job interview, you may not LOVE the person to death or want to be their best friend but she will get the job done better than anyone else.

I am a Republican, (or at least that is what I always thought), I was a John McCain for president person before he announced his candidacy. I will say that I am normally conservative in my approach to social issues, but I think things have gotten too conservative in our country. I have been learning toward the mindset that I would vote for a more moderate republican. Then today came along, and I starting to really think about what would change if Hillary became President. I feel perplexed, as a woman and a mother of a young daughter, I believe that Hilary becoming President would move improve many womens issues beyond where they are currently and move them forward in a way that will not happen if we don’t vote Hillary into office. I am tired of the old boys network in our country. So I am left with the feeling that eventhough I don’t agree with her politics in a lot of areas, I am opening my mind to consider voting for her. I am wondering if compromising my conservative approach on social issues might be worth having the glass ceiling shattered for me and my daughter. If I vote for her, I would be voting for her because she is a woman not because I agree with her politics. So I totally agree with you.

I am really struggling with this.

There is no doubt in my mind that Clinton is being held to a double standard and being judged more strictly that other candidates. And it seems to even come from other women, very much as it may come from coworker women in the workplace.

It is way past the time for a woman president and it would set such a wonderful precident for our daughters! Imagine telling our daughters they could grow up to be president - and actually believing it!

Still, I continue to wonder if she would be the right one…

Pat, here is one woman who will not be voting for Hillary. Her universal health care plan would raise unemployment and cause our taxes to increase exponentially. And putting someone in the White House with Washington Experience is no way to bring about change.

I don’t think anyone could honestly agree that no change has come in the last 200 years. The fact that we are even discussing this topic shows that change has come. Every hear of the 19th amendment?

Voting for a person solely in the basis of gender is sexism, as others have already pointed out.
