Dean's World

I just wanna see either one of em in tanker gear riding on an Abrams.

That would make me laugh.

However with Hillary you could at least believe she intended to ride somebody over on all tracks or fire in anger repeatedly.

However, Obama, being more of a woman than Clinton (and a lot of people could say that, couldn't they?), would be hard to realistically accept as Commander in Chief pretty much anywhere in the world except for Europe and Massachusetts...

Young women have rushed to latch on to Obama's comet coattails. A friend of mine who's fundraising mightily for him says "Obama is a woman" because he's more pro-choice than Clinton. After all, on that most stereotypical of women's issues, Clinton refers to the "tragedy of abortion." She loses progressives as she attempts to navigate the nonexistent common ground on this most divisive of issues. Obama, on the other hand, talks about the tragedy of unwanted pregnancies. In what seems to be the sunset of the era of the religious right, that's quite the courageous stand to take.

If Clinton loses the nomination, do women lose? Rights? Power? Visibility? Clout? Are they not taken as seriously by the political establishment? A month ago, I would have told you yes. Now I believe the answer is no. Why? Because Obama—metrosexual, pro-choice, pro-healthcare, and antipoverty—is, in every political sense at least, more of a woman than Clinton.

Hear Me Woar Wabbits, there's a new gal in town


Now that's high praise indeed, but on second thought maybe that's not quite as funny as it seems at first...
