I donated money to HRC, devoted some of my weekly columns for the local paper to covering her campaign, and wrote about her in my blog. Yet I'm a thirtysomething Gen-X Asian-American. Where does all the rhetoric leave me? Where do I belong in the dialogue? Just because I'm a young person of color does not mean I automatically spread my arms out for Sen. Obama. <BR/><BR/>And I think that my twenty-six-year-old African-American friend, who also supported HRC, would agree with me.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>MarjorieMarjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11100390503594226225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693738848429710464.post-81017146153740359722008-06-06T10:14:00.000-04:002008-06-06T10:14:00.000-04:00A few days isn't much to ask.

Clinton needed a couple though I hear she has met with Obama already to make plans for unifying and that she is instructing her people to go into Obama promoting mode because winning back the White House is the most important thing. I think her critics are going to have a lot of crow to eat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
