Where's my girl power?

I have seriously tried to ignore all of the political debates and media coverage in Iowa, but damn, third place? Don't get me wrong, I love Barack Obama and John Edwards and would be perfectly happy with either of them as my next President. But I have been waiting 37 long years for a female President and thought we might finally get there. I know a lot of people hate Hillary, most of them for stupid reasons but I'm sure there are a lot of smart people with justifiable reasons too, but I love her. She's smart and strong and can be funny as hell. I thought she might come in second. And I'll never understand why Iowa of all places is so important anyway. Could they be any whiter? Any ruraler? Could I make up any other words?

And Clinton finishing in third place is hardly the worst thing coming out of Iowa. I don't like any of the Republican candidates and will go on the record now that I would not be happy with any of them as my **can't say for word for fear of jinxing the election**. Sorry if my bias just smacked you in the face there. But Huckabee? He's just like the jackass we have now, if not worse. All charm until he bends you over. This is scary:

Huckabee supports a human life amendment to the United States Constitution. Versions of these amendments could lead to bans on not only abortion, but most common forms of birth control, stem-cell research, and assisted reproductive technologies like in-vitro fertilization.

I know intelligent people who still have problems with embryonic stem-cell research and I get that abortion is a very touchy and personal subject, but really? Fucking birth control and in-vitro?!?! Are you kidding me? Are there really still people who want to ban the pill? Who don't think infertile couples should have the opportunity to get pregnant and with the same breath want to force crack whores and 12 year old girls to carry to term?

Uggh, unfortunately I already know the answer. Shit, I know the people. And I really hate people sometimes.
