Kathy, (5.00 / 2) (#92)

It came as a surprise to me too. In fact the last 8 years have surprised me. I have been outraged so often I think my output of outrage has been seriously depleted.

I would love to see Hillary Clinton in the White House. Admittedly somewhat because she's a woman but mostly because I think she is the best candidate.

If ever I had seriously thought that voting JUST on gender was a smart move Ms. Pelosi has cured me of that for all time. We always knew there were as many female pinheads as there were male pinheads. They just weren't holding important elected office.

Ms. Pelosi shows that disenfranchising voters isn't just for Republicans of either gender anymore.

Pelosi is a disappointment (5.00 / 4) (#104)

to me in so many ways, not least of all this one.  Wasn't she saying a mere week ago that super d's should hold back endorsements?  And now she gives this, a tacit endorsement.  Surely, the woman has advisors telling her how hostile the environment is out there, and that even innocuous comments are being conflated into warning shots over the bow.

I dunno, I guess the point of the women's movement was that there would come a time when gender solidarity was unnecessary. My feeling with this current nomination race is that we're at least another 200-300 years away from that.

I guess that Pelosi is taking it "off the table."
