I'm black-I didn't vote for Obama
I'm a woman-I didn't vote for Clinton
I'm young-I didn't vote for Obama
I voted for Edwards in the primary-I am the rare glitch in the system as the news would have you believe.
I'm tired of the race issue, I'm tired of the pathetic bickering and frankly, I think Obama has lost his point for me (although originally I liked all three candidates).
Edwards for me, has been the only one making sense the entire time and I feel like everyone has ignored him because "Oh we can vote for a woman!" "Oh we can vote for a black! (Which makes me sad because his mom is white and obviously even though physically he's black it makes me so sad they he lost his non-descript "race" along the way because I know for me that my mother is so important in my life and I identify with her over my father primarily.)
I have lost so much hope for anything getting achieved during these next for years because people are being spoon-fed the hype. And now I'm REALLY afraid that Clinton may not win and we'll be stuck with Obama...and I REALLY do not want him leading my country (just me personally cos I know everyone else is apparently on the Obama train).
