tirani: Wanna place your bets on a Clinton/Edwards or Obama/Edwards ticket?
etcet: i'd prefer obama/edwards
tirani: Mister 9/11 is dropping out. Thank god
etcet: i don't know who'll get the nomination, but aishlynn made a good and fairly nuanced argument for why she went for obama rather than clinton - in dealing with foreign heads of state, especially middle eastern ones, they don't view women as being equal with men, and with all the rebuilding of our international image the us needs to do, having her may hamper the process. unfortunate, but probably true.
tirani: The pragmatist in me agrees. The women in me thinks they can go fuck themselves ;)
etcet: the fact that they're from a culture of misogynist assholes doesn't excuse it, but we can't make the mistake of ignoring reality to the extent that shrub does.
