I wanted to write and thank everybody that put my last diary from Yearly Kos on the recommended list. Thank you ALL!!
Barry and I just finished watching the debates and talking heads.
I’m not a Stepford wife and I have a mind of my own....
I diary as Congressional Candidates Wife, I’m Sherri Welsh. My husband, whom I prefer to refer to as DailyKos Blogger’s Husband, is Barry Welsh (had to get that in, we’ve been "discussing" political strategy).
It’s a clever poke at my husband and never mean or ill spirited. We like to have vigorous debates to discuss our differences and our commonalities in both opinion and view. I, personally have been very impressed with my husband’s insight and forward thinking position on the issues.
I thought about this as we watched the Presidential Debates tonight and I heard so many things that Barry was saying in 2005 and 2006, coming out of the mouths of the top of the ticket. Speaking of the top of the ticket, Hillary Clinton is going to be our next President and I am ok with that. I am a woman and It is time for a female President and since she is the only one running, I am ok with her being President. She can’t do any worse than most of the men have done.
I know that is not a good reason, as I said Barry and I have been "discussing" political strategy and he made it clear that gender should not be the only factor. Of course he is a man, and since all the Presidents have been men, and except Hillary would be this time, he would say that.
It is not the only factor for me, but even if it was, those that don’t agree with it, I respect their opinion, and if that is the only factor for me, that is my business, and it may be the only factor that matters for many other women too. Maybe not on this site, but I feel there are lot’s of women just waiting to vote for the first female President.
Hillary is winning me over in the debates and not just because she is a woman. I just think she can do the job and out of the top three, right now, I think she will do the job the best.
I didn’t intend to write a diary 60% about Hillary Clinton, it just sort of came out I guess!
I really wanted to write and say thank you to everybody at Yearly Kos. I was treated so nice, and it was such a diverse crowd, and so much information!
I also wanted to write because Barry is third on the Indiana ActBlue Page behind Joe Donnelly and Baron Hill, and Barry just announced on Friday, so he is doing great.. He is way ahead of the Governor’s Candidates who announced a long time ago. I’d like to see Barry (who has 340.00) go ahead of Joe (who has 398.00) and Baron (who has 388.00). I’d like to be able to say I was responsible for putting him in the lead in Indiana ActBlue fundraising! LOL So if you can help, click here.
It’s late, but I am going to answer a few comments if I get any.
Thanks!
Love,
Sherri
