84. Write her name in for the general election? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.
I can understand voting for Hillary in the primaries - she has some strengths that Obama does not (while he has others that she lacks). I was very close to voting for her myself.

But taking a vote away from Obama in the general election only helps McCain and is an absolutely pointless waste of a vote.

You may as well write in Gloria Steinem or Patty Murray or Maxine Waters or any number of other, truly pioneering women than Hillary, who rode into office on her husband's coattails.

Writing in Hillary's name in the General Election will only set back women's rights by making a McCain victory more likely - he is hostile to choice and has advocated endless war.




How demented to have such devotion to a candidate who is identical on paper to Obama in every way except for the genitalia.
