Clinton's out!

Just watched Hillary Clinton's withdrawal speech. Am really bummed that she is out of the race. Funny how in the land that brought feminism up as a movement, when push came to shove, any man won. Race didn't matter as much as gender. Simplistic but true on a fundamental level.

Hillary was by far the best candidate. Experience, mistakes, scandals, Bill, she has survived it all and at 60, gave the presidential nomination her best shot. In the beginning, my liberal gut was not able to decide one way or the other. Not that it matters - am not American and don't have a vote - the whole debate was hypothetical.

As the campaign went along, despite little snafus, I thought Hillary would give McCain a better fight and be a better president. Obama reminds me too much of JFK - popular for charisma, whose legacy includes mysterious actress suicides and who is better known for his beautiful family than work as president. Honestly, other than the Civil Rights Proclamation (a movement whose time had come, that thousands had worked towards - to give any one person full credit is hardly fair!), I can't think of anything else. Bay of Pigs, cold war ego hassles....not significant.

Hillary's speech had class, no tears, strong words and positive energy. I think she would have made the better president. Don't see the benefits of testosterone in office if that means greed and power become the end.

Good job, Hillary and sorry it didn't work for you this time.
