You Go, Hillary!

I know, I haven't written a real blog post in a week, which is some kind of new lame-o record for me. I started work earlier today on a follow-up to last week's autism post, but I decided to put it off until tomorrow and spent tonight doing what I have been doing all week (between continuing sniffles and cough): campaigning for Hillary.

I spent all my time and energy tonight sending out one last kick ass, pre-Super Tuesday e-mail. Although I try to keep my politics over on my joint blog with Jay, I'm so excited about this election and it's so important to me, that I can't help but have some of that spill over here. While I'd love to share with you what I wrote, I can't post it, because then my worlds would collide and if those real life folks ever found their way here, they'd know for sure that I'm me! (And as long as I don't post that, I'm totally anonymous. I'm sure there are tons of blond Hillary supporters with mixed race families, autistic kids and sex addict husbands all the same age as my family members. Trust me, no one will ever guess this blog is by me without that one pro-Hillary e-mail.)

Fortunately, I have blogosphere pinch hitter because Shawn wrote her own kick ass Hillary post earlier today (here's a part of it):
When will be the best time to elect a woman president? Who could be a better president? And what will be the arguments against her?

Too bitchy? Too smart? Too aggressive? Too wimpy? Too emotional? Too what?

What?

Why not Hillary?

Why not?

Because she was married to Bill? Because she is strong? Because she is political. Controversial. Because she is smarter, more diplomatic and more globally respected than the current president?

Or, is it because she is a woman?

Why
not her?
Go visit Shawn's blog for the rest...
You go, Shawn! And you go, Hillary!


My hand with some of the cool schwag I picked up at a campaign rally.

  1. Going political are we? ;)

    Yeah, I'm one of those who would think Hillary makes a good president. I am also thinking Obama would be good... one of the two will most likely get my vote come election time.

    Still some ways to go, so things might change.

  2. I hope you saw Hillary on Letterman last night. She was great, very charming. He said watching her and Obama in the last debate, he thought "Now that's a perfect Democrat ticket." And she said that she'd put a lot of thought into it and is thinking either Regis or Letterman. Ha.

    Oh and I think I recognize the hand holding the Hillary button. Haha.

    Is it wrong that I think the presidency should go to the husband of the winner of a jello wrestling bout between Jeri Thompson and Elizabeth Kucinich?

  5. Yay You. My daughter converted me and, in time, even her dad to voting for the Girl today. It's about time for the Girl Thing to change.

  6. wooooh, jealous about the campaign rally.

    twin toddlers. sigh.

    actually, i woke up this morning totally wondering where i can buy two toddler t-shirts with hillary on them. off to research that now ...

    thanks for the link love and the support. i went out on a limb and that always makes me nervous but this was worth it. it's great to know that we aren't alone, that she is standing strong and I think the more we -- not her -- spread our passion for the girl thing the better off she'll be. she just can't do that. but we can. hell yeah we can.

    Shawn, my husband, the Obama voter, came home early from work one day to watch the kids so that I could go see Hillary, because he knew how important it was to me. See, sex addiction, shmex addiction, he's there for me when it counts. :)
