I will not throw my support to someone just because they have a vagina. Some may argue that about me, but it's true. Don't ask me my opinion on Hilary, it's not polite.
I am skeptical of anyone in politics or the government, so when someone does come around that actually makes me pause. I get a little tingly.
Sonia Sotamayor. Now there's a class act. I am so excited for her. Her background is truly the American dream that we all strive to become. She grew up in the Bronx housing projects, graduated valedictorian of her high school and when one of her teachers suggested she apply for Princeton. Sotamayor replied, "What's that?"
In interviews of former employers of Sotamayor, one word kept coming out over and over: impressed. Everyone in her past seems to be impressed by the way she handles herself, her fairness, and her abilities. She seems to have be exactly what we are looking for in the US: fair & even-handed.
Sotomayor has more experience than other judge on the Supreme Court, which doesn't make her qualified for the job, but definitely makes me think she has seem a lot more than most. The committee that analyzes all Supreme Court nominees gave Sotameyer the highest rating eve in a nominee. And after 4 days of questioning, it seems that she has won over even her opponents.
Get to know her, you will be impressed.

I completely agree with you on the woman aspect of the support.
Just because you are a woman does not mean I will support or appoint you. You must prove that you are the best person for the job in my opinion.
Great post!
