I voted for both of them. If I'd been old enough to vote, I might have thrown Jenness a vote in '72. I definitely would have voted for Chisholm, given an opportunity.

My opposition to Clinton has nothing to do with her gender, and I'm ahead of the curve when it comes to those who urge me to vote for her because her "moment" is "historic."

I don't think this is "stupid" at all, although, at this point, the only thing that's going to stop # 1 is her legal issues catching up to her.
