I am still in shock from Saturday. [View All]

[Rainbowreflect]

I have been living in a house divided. My husband is/was a Clinton supporter and I am an Obama support. We have been respectful of each other's choice and knew no matter who the nominee was we would both be voting Dem in November. It is not about either of us or our candidates, it is about the future of this country.
I was excited to have the two remaining candidate be a women and a black (well half back) man. It said we had moved forward as a country and a party. Now I wonder.
I spent a good deal of Saturday in front of the TV and when it was over all I could do was cry. As a women, a white women, I was offended by what some of Clinton's supporters were saying. I was saddened by the attitude of "if my candidate does not win it is because... sexism, it was stolen from her, etc, etc, etc. And I will make them pay by cutting off my nose to spite my face and voting for McCain. In my opinion they sounded like the worst stereotypes of women. Whining when they don't get their way and blaming everyone else. Saying that every vote must count then discounting my vote because I am in a caucus state.
Yes, a year ago most people believed that Hillary would be our nominee, but that did not mean if she wasn't it was "stolen" from her. It meant that there was another candidate that did a better job of getting their message out, of campaigning and of getting people involved. That is good for them and our party.
I fear that the actions and attitudes of many of the Clinton supporters will do more harm for women in politics then the media ever could. Not only for the future of women running for office, but for all our civil rights.
