A little entertainment is offered from the Seattle Times. Below are some quotes and commentary from the public on Hillary Rodham Clinton. Some additional commentary on the public opinions is offered as well. Feel free to submit your own. There are only a handful of quotes from the public. And this is certainly not a scientific effort. But does it make you feel a little concerned about polls, elections and matters in general? Not one person suggested to the reporter/interviewer that other considerations were more important than gender. That is with the possible exception of one voter saying one Clinton was enough.

Can’t get to serious about this post since it was simply offered for amusement. This is the first such posting here of public commentary on a candidate. If more articles like this are found they will be posted. Hopefully any future reporter interviews like this will be on more than one narrow question.

“I am not quite sure she can be as strong as a male in that position, in a presidential position,” said Debbie Dionne, of Lake Stevens. “It seems it’s always been for men. Men are always the strongest.”

Okay, Debbie. Why can’t she be as strong in a Presidential position? Bill can show her all the positions. And Debbie, does it seem like ‘it’s always been for men’ because there never was a woman President? Okay, you got me, men are the strongest. Do you suppose Debbie is a registered voter?

“I hope the chances are better,” Barbara Vale said. “But I don’t think a female president will get elected [next year].”

Yo, Barbara, better than what? The editor could have left out the [next year] part. Just kidding (maybe).

“I think there’s a love-hate relationship with Hillary,” said Rebecca Wynne, 26, of Everett. “But I think if anybody knows what it’s like to be in that hot seat, I think she knows. She’s seen it through and she’s lived through it.”

Rebecca? When was she President?

“One Clinton was enough,” said Shane Cooprider, 30, who was visiting from Iowa.
His wife, Kim, said she’s pondering her options, but would not vote for Clinton based on gender.
“I would vote for a female president, but I don’t know if I would necessarily vote for Hillary,” Cooprider said. “A few years ago, back in college, I might have done it just because she’s a woman, but I think I have advanced from that.”

Odds are neither of them will vote but if they do they’ll both vote for Huckabee.

Lynnwood resident Gloria Chard, 75, is deciding between Barack Obama and Clinton, while her friend Clare Jones, 86, decided she will vote for Hillary, in part because it would bring Bill Clinton back to the White House.
To which Chard replied: “That makes it better.”

One of the advantages of a very long campaign season.
