to emerge as part of the spin as well. The MSN pundits have been working the race angle, and the sex angle, but on Super Duper Tuesday I even observed such luminaries as Paul Begala describing the "Walmart" crowd as being in Hillary's camp, and the "Starbuck's" crowd as being in Obama's camp. They're playing "blue-collar dems" against "limosine liberals". One channel I picked up while surfing (I forget which) divided the appeal of each of our candidates into two checklists. Guess what? I fit both categories evenly! I am college-educated and deeply concerned with the Iraq war (which are attributes of those who support Obama) but I am also an over-forty female who is worried about the economy (which according to them makes me a solid Hillary supporter!) Thanks for the broad brush, MSN! The reality is that I have gone back and forth weighing the pros and cons of each of them, and the pros and cons of those who have dropped out as well. And we DO have more than one candidate who would make a very good President! And how many of the people polled in the exit polls are people who made up their minds in the last minute, in the last day, or in the booth? Plenty!

They're also trying to divide us by "young" vs "old". Watch for it!
