Women don't vote for overaries!

I am so sick of Democrats being so polite in the debates! Isn't the point of the debate to rip your opponent to shreds and show the country/world that your ticket is the best possible one to lead?

Obama was so damn agreeable "Senator McCain is absolutely right" "You know I completely agree with Senator McCain" blah blah blah. McCain wasn't afraid to be an asshole! He even called Obama naive. Which is rich coming from a white man who lives in NW dc most of the year and vacations on a huge ranch in AZ or a Malibu condo.

Obama! wake up! you are infinetely smarter and more charasmatic that that old sack of skin running against you! More people like you better and you can afford to be more aggressive! Being so polite, I think, had the opposite effect of what you wanted. It made you look weak and a bit intimated by McCain, which we all know is untrue. So stop defering to him, step up and debate! Attack! Show us how strong a leader you are and don't let him talk over you or patronize you. Not only is it offensive to you when he does that, but I find it offensive that you let him. You clearly demonstrated your superiority to me in the debate! But I listen and understand what you say. You have to illustrate to the people who can't understand your words that you are better and smarter than he is!

And Biden!! You did a great job in the debate! You're well spoken, extremely intelligent and to me illustrated that you really thinks and cares about the issues that most care about in this election. Bravo! That said, you were way to considerate Palin in their debate. I'm not saying he should have been rude. But perhaps a bit more aggressive. For christs sake, the woman is complete ignorant in virtually all affairs that matter right now. I myself am sure I know more about foriegn policy than she does. She hasn't the slightest idea how to go about aiding the financial sector and although she claims to be an energe expert, I don't buy it!

I know all the pundits etc kept underscoring how important it is for Biden to appear respectful because when men are debating women, if they come off as too aggressive it is detrimental to their campaign...talk about sexist!! The fact that people are talking at all about the differences to be aware of when debating people of different genders is sexist. One would think that the campaign that was so concerned with sexism would acknowledge that. But no, as is the case with most republicans, only when it is to their distinct detriment will they fuss about an issue like sexism.

Do not even consider that democrats would play this card because never once did we hear Hillary Clinton complain about sexism in the campaign. It is a fact that should be universally acknowledged, when we as women enter a predominantly male field we must be better, faster, and smarter then the men surrounding us or we get lost by the wayside. Hillary knows this and demonstrated it every day of her campaign. Palin is neither stronger, faster, and certainly not smarter than anyone, except maybe her children and needs to play the sexist card to ensure she doesn't get left behind. It's pathetic and demeaning to women everywhere and people need to acknowledge it.

We shouldn't vote for someone because of their race or gender. We should choose our leaders based on the principles and ideology. I think Barack Obama is the best choice to be president. That said, if Hillary and won the primaries I think she would have been the best choice. It isn't because he is black and she is female, or that neither is a white man. It is because they have beliefs and principles that not only directly align with mine, but because they genuinely care about the USA and the world. The fact that we are changing the face/color of the presidency is merely an added bonus.
