Does Obama have a chance?

This statement includes Clinton as well as Obama.

Since when are women a minority? I believe in the 2005 census there were slightly more women than men.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm not trying to say gender discrimination doesn't exist, but that doesn't make you a minority. There are less women in politics, but that doesn't mean less of them vote.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The other big name candidate, Rudy Giuliani, spent eight years as Mayor of New York City and before that 23 or so years as an attorney in the Justice Department.

These guys are the reason I think the Democrats ought to put up Obama. From what I've seen of them, and grant you living in Canada that's not very much, they are both fairly intelligent, well-spoken, and generally likable people, as I think Obama is. Then I listen to Clinton making speeches and I think, "Good god, what a cold fish." I'm not a big fan of either party, and I do lean in favor of the Democrats, but Hillary pretty much sums up everything I dislike about them as a whole. I don't understand what her appeal is.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
