I wrote this in early January while Edwards was still in the race.

Since then things have changed and I’ve switched over to Obama.

However, it seems appropriate to bring it back out since  the

 Superdelegate Sisterhood Story ( here ) broke.

It’s interesting to look back on my story because at the time the Clinton Fans were the ones who made it clear to me I only had two choices (despite the fact that there were more then two candidates on the field at the time )…and without exception it was my women friends who told me who I SHOULD support.

Not the men.

Anyway here’s the post from January 8, 2008

I’ve been told I should support Clinton-

because she’s a woman.

I’ve been told  I should support Obama-

because he’s not white

and I’m not either.

I’ve been told I should not to support Richardson because then I’d be practicing Identity Politics.

When I say I like Edwards I’ve been reminded, somewhat sternly, that he’s a White Man from the South-

he’s not the candidate for people like me I’ve been told.

Next thing you know I’m going to need to start asking which water fountain I should be drinking from.

No.

I’m not trying to be funny.

That’s what I think.
