Re resp:84: Yes, I found that interesting, too. Gov. Granholm has also
taken criticism for being insufficiently Catholic. For a while
Catholics were picketing her house calling for her excommunication.

I think that if Granholm was a man she would not be as unpopular. Female
politicians tend to get unpopular a lot faster. Hillary Clinton always has
higher negatives than her husband. Some people are still distinctly
uncomfortable with females in power.

re #87
There are several on Grex and I don't blame them for flying below radar.

no Im just a guy who's a feminist, in contrast to some of the women on here
who appear to be "female male chauvinists" in some cases.
do you why some people think hillary clinton would lose if she ran for
president in 2008? Because they think there are a number of females who won't
vote for a female president. Some women want a man in charge.

I never said I'm a feminist - nor am I a male chauvinist - I tend to be an
equalist.
I think HRC would lose (and it chagrins me to say it, as I really like her
and will vote for her) because she has left a bad taste in many mouths.
People dont' like her for being so outspoken about issues like health care,
yet the same fault her traditional values of sticking by her husband. I have
always felt she walks a very fine line.

Right now, Mark Warner looks like a safe gamble.

No Richard, there is nothing wrong with it. At least in my eyes, there isn't.
Nor is staying with your husband for whatever reasons.
It's kind of a shame that Laura Bush returned to the more traditional role
in the White House. It's like she set back Hillary's progress.

Nothing shameful about it. Not everyone wants to be a politician or be
in the public eye.

when the clintons got married, she didn't take his name. She remained Hillary
Rodham and for several years was crucified by the right, they said she was
disrespecting her husband by not taking his name, and that he was somehow a
weak husband for not MAKING her take his name. For political reasons, and
because she was tired of the bs, she gave in and added "clinton" to her name.
It is hard for a female politician to be her own person in a chauvinist
society.

Re 99 - Maybe shameful isn't the best word, but to be honest, Laura Bush
represents a small percentage of the women in this country. I always felt
HRC better represented me - she worked, she's a mother, etc. Maybe that is
why I have no issue voting for her.

hrc also always earned more money than her husband, she was the one "bringing
home the bacon" as they say. some still think women shouldn't work, let alone
make more money than their husband.

I think it is safe to say that that "some" is decreasing.

HRC represents special interests I'm not exactly aligned with.
"Marriage has got historic, religious and moral content that goes back to the
beginning of time, and I think a marriage is as a marriage always has been,
between a man and a woman." - Hillary Clinton, opposing same-sex marriages,
quoted in The New York Daily News

Do you think those are her "real" views, or what she's saying to try to
get elected?

HRC also supports "regulating" the Internet.
Civil union does not equal marriage. Don't be so obtuse.

personally, I hope that the good senator from Wisconsin, Russ Feingold,
decides to run for President in 2008.
