I look back to the last election and it was all so hopeless. Now we have two amazing politicians! Being such, they're surely both secretly dreadful people, but at least they're exciting candidates.

I'm for Hillary, loud and proud. My reason is policy, and frankly the sexism I feel has gone a little rampant doesn't hurt. Really I'm with Gloria Steinem. I want to hear Chris Mathews "President Hillary," "Madam President Hillary Clinton" A lot of people say she isn't likable, but that just makes me like her more. Its like, I want the biggest bitch in the world in charge, period. I won’t beat around the Bush (so to speak). I’m for Hillary, loud and proud.

And yes, I think the Democratic Party has already spoken, and you know how us looney lefties are -- we are ALL Bi-Candidates, and we have basically demanded BOTH! Oh gee, I don't know which candidate should be the President and which one should be the Vice President. Maybe they could switch off, and take turns at it. In fact, I saw the one-on-one debate where they both sounded like they really liked each other. Oh My God! I think Barack and Hillary are Bi-Candidates too!!! Gosh Margaret, I’m a Bi-Candidate too!

Well put, as usual, especially the part about wanting to take it back and change it. Edwards' health care plan was best though. Yes!!!

( not just because it would make it easier for me, the DC primary is right around the corner- and I have NO IDEA who Im' voting for) On one hand, you've got Hillary, her record on gay rights- BUT on the same token, she voted for the Iraq war. (shudder) On the other hand, You've got Obama, who wants to invade Iran. Both Candidates want to include Universal Health care- which is a really good thing. The one thing that all of my friends (gay and straight) aggree on is that the truly frightening thing is the possibility of a McCain Presidency (shuddering even harder) If Clinton & Obama team up- (and that's one big if) who would take the lesser office? can either one of them can (or will) compromise for the benefit of the country -or wind up getting into a pissing match with each other- remains to be seen. If they can look past personal differences- and follow the example set by Representative Murtha an Speaker Pelosi- than what we will be witnessing will be an unprecented moment in American History. Personally- I will probably wind up throwing my vote in with the candidate that recieves the party nomination. While I am an independent, I vote (strongly) democrat.

Every time I think I am going to finally just be on Hillary's side, I listen to Obama and fall in love with his speeches. I don't care who you are, republican or democrat, clintonite or obamafan, you can't deny that that man can speak, ie his New Hampshire speech that has gone crazy with the yeswecansong.com Both on the same ticket- that would be amazing.

I'm Bi too! So much so that I've started a movement -- ok, it's just a website at this point, but I can dream -- with the catch phrase: What's better than having Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama in the White House for 8 years? Hillary Clinton AND Barack Obama in the White House for 16 years! It just makes so much sense to me. These two candidates are too good for either of them to lose this year. But together they can win in 2008. And 2012, 2016, and 2020. Imagine the possibilities! Please visit www.16yearplan.com and spread the word! Thank you so much for making it all so clear! I’m Bi too!

Those two just need to get it over with and get it on together. I still don't know if I made the right choice. I was bi-candidate too. Those two just need to get it over with and get it on together.

We'd like a joint ticket, too. If one must use a sexual metaphor, we'd like to see Hillary and Barak sleeping with each other, with Bill on a little pallet at the foot of the bed. Continuing the other note, if you take all comers, and you do have an SO still?, does that mean you practice polyamory or adultery? And I'm a comer. Take me!

Nearly every blog I visit - voters are torn. Gay, straight, trans, black, white, male, female.... we are all saying the same thing, "I don't KNOW." Funny how no one I know is voting Republican. I mean, even my ancient, mega-conservative mother-in-law is considering Obama. Really! We haven't had primaries yet (Ohio). When it comes up, I may just flip a coin. Sounds horrible but I literally change my mind on a daily basis depending on what I read or who talk to. Which is why I said a long time ago that those two need to go in on one ticket. I have a gut feeling that this will actually happen. I really believe it. I NEED to believe it. I think they can overcome their differences (their differences really aren't THAT big... they are just bickering for politics' sake). On another note, Margaret, you are just like me. PANSEXUAL. Say it with me, it's a beautiful word! I love souls... I love people and their bodies with all variations of gender. I get amazingly hot for many people from Angelina Jolie to Justin Bond to David Duchovny to Ian Harvie. Gender is beautiful, amazing fluid thing and I'm so happy people are starting to understand that now. (And thank you for helping to build awareness of that, too!!) Exactly.
