"Obama doesn't have enough experience."

Yeah. It interests me that Edwards, who only had one term in the Senate, didn't get the same kind of scrutiny on that point. And over half of Clinton's experience was as First Lady -- a more politically involved First Lady than most, to be sure, but still.

America is going to face something huge: their sexism and their racism and religious intolerance

It's true. And actually a little exciting: out of four front-runners for President of the United States, only one is a white male Protestant. There was a part of me that really thought the Democrats nominate Edwards in the end for just that reason.
