I'm a fan science-fiction writer, and we love to 'filk' songs - that is, change the words of an existing song to fir a particular genre or fan-universe. This isn't great art, but a lot of those who've heard it think it's moving. I offer it as an homage to the debate last night.

My husband and I had a long talk after HRC'S speech. One thing I wished she had done, when speaking about understanding women's equality issues, was say something like "and I know Senator Obama feels the same way. He has two daughters." My husband pointed out that there are many feminists who would've have reacted negatively to that - that there are some feminists who don't believe a man - ANY man - should be a part of their cause.

If that's the case, it might've done more harm than good in helping Obama's campaign - but, too, for those few feminists, would they vote for a man - ANY man - anyway?

These can't be the type of feminists who'd vote for McCain come November, though. Right? I'd like to hear from you all about this. Is my husband right? Will these women stay home rather than vote for a man? And if so, how many of them are there?

Ohio Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones was talking on "The Verdict" with Dan Abrams tonight, taking to task all those who have said that Senator Hillary Clinton should have conceded the Democratic primary race in her speech on Tuesday, June3rd and endorsed the by-then-Presumptive Nominee, Senator Barack Obama. Her sometimes shrill comments revolved mostly around the idea that HRC should be allowed "time" to "catch her breath" before ending her campaign.

Should Hillary Clinton have been given time to "catch her breath" before conceding to Barak Obama?

I'm an almost 55 year old housewife, living in Minnesota, raised in Chicago. I've been aware of politics since the 1960 Election, and came of political age pretty young, when I worked for the campaign of RFK in the spring of 1968. I was at the Chicago Democratic National Convention that fateful year, outside in Grant Park as a demonstrator.

Since that time, and especially after Watergate, I haven't been active in politics. Cynicism got the better of me.

After 8 years of Bush, my feelings were, as Rachael Maddow puts is, "anybody with a D after their name". At first, I was leaning in favor of John Edwards, but as I got to hear more from Barak Obama, my opinion became weighted more and more in his favor. Until February, though, I would have been content with either Obama or Clinton. Not anymore. Though I will work for whoever the Democratic nominee is - because "anybody with a D after their name" is STILL better than McCain, I don't support HRC.

A question.

Could that be sexism I heard?
