Plenty of people won't vote for them just because they are women. They think women are unelectable BECAUSE of their gender.

Klobuchar and Warren easily have more intelligence, class, dignity and experience, and they each have better policy statements than their idealogical brethren. That is, of course, my opinion, but none of it has anything to do with their gender.

I truly believe that if they were men, they would make the most electable ticket the Dems could put together. And the only reason that won't happen is because they are women. It sucks!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Undecided
