Bloggers Supporting Hillary Under Attack By Obama Supporters
Not only is Hillary Clinton damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t. It seems many political bloggers who support Hillary are in the same boat…and are being forced out (or at least underground). Why can’t we just let all the voices be heard? Why can’t we just let all the votes be counted? We are still living in the United States of America…right?
This is from a post by PunditMom — Hillary Clinton: Damned If She Does and Damned if She Doesn’t
Politicos ruminate over how much more the Democratic party can “take.” Some voters — the one’s who’ve already cast their ballots — have primary fatigue and want to be done with the process. Some Hillary Clinton supporters have even stopped blogging about their positions because of the unrelenting attacks from those who back Barack.
And an ever-growing number of Obama supporters are demanding that the first viable woman candidate step down for the good of the party.
I’m not the only one wondering why so many feel the need to push out a candidate who has come so far. Is our system so weak? Is the Democratic party so inept that it can’t stand a debate between two qualified candidates?

The suggestion that Clinton step down is not a gender issue, it is based upon the math- which says short of a miracle she can’t win this. If she were able to continue without knee capping Obama, far fewer people would call for her to drop out. I’m a 61 year old white woman who desperately wanted to support Clinton, but after seeing the negative divisive campaign that she is running I switched to Obama. I have had enough of Karl Rove politics, I don’t need to see those kind of slimy attacks coming from a democrat.

Would anyone dare to suggest that Obama step down if their positions were reversed? Of course not. They would be branded as racists. Now who is playing the racw card!

Along the not wanting to be seen as a racist lines I’d also like to point out that black men were awarded the right to vote in 1870, Women on the other hand couldn’t vote untill 1920. A good 50 years afterwards. If history has taught us anyhting, we shouldn’t be all that suprised that the novel idea of a woman president is being overshadowed by the idea of a black president. At this rate we wont see a woman president till 2060!

Hi Kira. For me it’s not just about numbers, it’s about everyone feeling they have been able to participate in this important process. And as far as “miracles” go…Some still believe in miracles. I was told it would be a “miracle” if I was ever able to have a child (based on gyn medical problems) – I now have two beautiful children. If I had given up, there would have been no chance for a miracle to happen, and I would be childless. All I am saying is…There is no reason to believe that a miracle couldn’t happen…they happen every day.

I do not believe that she should step down i do believe that since the election began both democratic nominees have lost focus on what the race is all about do not get it misconstrued I am an avid Obama supporter I believe the changes that need to be done in America will only become a reality under his leadership although this will only be the second time I vote for a Presidential election I feel honored that I may have chance to vote for someone as eloquent and phenomenal as Barack Obama…YES WE CAN!!!

It is not easy to be Hillary. It is not easy being a woman running for a US President. I do believe that she will receive more supports at the end. It is the Hillary’s campaign team who needs to think about what Hillary’s pluses that are not owned by other candidates? Courage, dignity, and experience!
