I have been listening to NPR (National Public Radio) the past few days while driving back and forth to Lansing. The latest topic is the Democratic Convention occurring this week in Denver. After hearing about who will be speaking and when, a discussion arises about Hillary Clinton and her supporters. Apparently, polls have shown that approximately 30% of her supporters indicated they were considering voting for John McCain. The reasons, NPR stated, was that her supporters still had hard feelings over her loosing the nomination to Barack Obama. They interviewed several women who said they would "most likely vote for Obama" but still have sour feelings.
I became infuriated to think that one would vote for another version of George W. Busch just because they couldn't have their way with the democratic nominee. 'Cmon women! Don't you see that you are reinforcing the negative stereotype of women being seen as irrational and emotional? Their is no rational explanation for choosing against your ideals and values which are common with democrats nation-wide!
