Hillary Wins Pennsylvania

Hillary Clinton just gave her victory speech. In it, again and again she hit the same point: blah blah blah, a woman CAN be president! Blah blah blah, the old lady wants to see a woman in the White House! Blah blah blah, we're going to be able to put our daughters on our shoulders and whisper to them you can be anything you want to be -- even a Woman In The White House!

Guess what, Hillary? My daughters already know that. Why? Because my wife and I, told them that. Without your help.

So stop telling us to vote for you or Barack so we can do something historic. It's not enough reason to vote one way or another. And your thinly veiled "anyone but a white guy"argument is blatantly bigoted. And ignorant.

Besides, "historic" will happen one way or another. If elected, John McCain will be the oldest president to take office. He will also be the first former POW to be elected president and the first Vietnam veteran elected president. So don't worry. You'll get your historic election.

Meanwhile, while you're obsessing about Barack's skin color and your sex, Americans may not like the war in Iraq, but they will like retreat/defeat even less. And soldiers want to come home, but not defeated and humiliated.

And on to Mr. B.O.: Barack, why is it when you refer to your candidacy and say things like "in this election we have the chance to solve problems we have working on for decades," I get the feeling that what you really mean is "[White] Americans, we need change! And here is an historic opportunity. You bitter-religious-gun nuts can right your past wrongs by electing a black guy--and, as fate would have it, I'm a black guy. Lucky you!"

Addendum: I'd like to see Hillary's story about the woman handing her a pic of the woman's father getting the CMH from President Truman vetted. Smells funny.
