Gender Bias vs Race Bias Still Alive In America? by:Mary Ann Boulette

Afro-Americans are lining up behind Obama and white females over 50 are lining up

behind Hillary and both demographics are threatening to walk out of the Denver convention if their candidate is not the nominee. Now if this isn't an example of gender and race bias, then I don't know what it is.

It seems the Democrats can screw-up a "two car" parade. And of course, Florida is right in the middle of this train wreck again. They are talking about a "do-over" primary, a "mail in" primary or any of a number of ways to resolve Florida - which might even end up in court again. My question is - if Florida Democrats knew their votes would not be counted because they moved up their primary date, why did 1.7 million voters line up to vote? And overwhelmingly for Hillary?

Then there is my home state of Texas where we get to vote twice. Now I have voted in every Texas election in the last 38 years and I never knew that!

Taking this impasse all the way to convention is dangerous for the Democrats. The last two brokered conventions in the recent past have led to Republican victories in the general election. So, the door is wide open for a President McCain whose foreign policy is what we have right now and he has admitted that he knows nothing about economics.

Being the forward thinking person I am I have come up with the solution. Remember Bush v Gore? Florida, 2000, court? The Electoral College trumps the popular vote. So - take all the Electoral College votes for all the states that Obama won and do the same for Hillary and viola - most Electoral College votes is the nominee.

Oh, and did you know that McCain is older than Ronald Reagan was when he became President? Let's just throw age bias into the pot to really stir things up.
