OK, I think i'm maxxed out on hearing about how we women won't vote for Obama in the general election... that Obama has run a sexist campaign (??)... that Obama can't win women over ... and that we women are HRC's base supporters.
Which brings me, for one moment, back to my lovely Seattle, WA caucus, where we women (of all ages) showed up two-for-one for Barack Obama to the men, and only 1/4th of the entire democratic crowd supported Clinton.
Perhaps the most dismal political TV in a while was this pathetic segment on O'Sexist's no-spin zone, with his vaccuous guests, discussing Obama's supposed blatant sexism. Will I ever get those 3 minutes back? Well, here - if I can't, neither can you:
So this, MyDD diaries, Kos diaries and comments, MSM grumblings, and one Ms. Geraldine Ferraro have inspired me - enough is enough.
I just bought a domain name, "www.womenforobama.us."
No, I haven't done anything with it - but I will, and I'm asking for your support and help. I would like this site to be for women who are Obama supporters, or generally Democratic Party supporters who are through with the primary as it stands (because, well, it's actually over) and feel we need to move on to the general election. I am not a little disappointed that the very few women speaking are misrepresenting the women of the Democratic Party, and I feel we have an obligation to add our voice.
I don't see this site as a place for pleas to the side who's creating this divisiveness, as much as a place to show we're mostly not divided in the first place. I hope you will come help me do this. Let's not allow these very few women to create more division, just as we are excited about our newfound unity and strength.
Women for Obama - unite!
Update:
I think it takes 24 hours to get the name attributed to my account... so I'll work on a format (it will be a plain ole' blog format, i suppose, unless there are better suggestions). So much support so fast! Thanks... really. I am on fire and ready to go!
Update x2:
We are discussing what we want to see at http://groups.yahoo.com/... while we wait for our site. come on over...
