It's OK To Flirt. Really.
But, back to living women who are entertaining the thought of McCain-ing. ...You know how during the primaries, we kept writing that supporting Obama over Hillary didn't make us woman-haters or even bad feminists? Belatedly, with the help of my McCain-flirting friend, it occurs to me that the opposite obvious point also needs to be spelled out: Supporting Hillary, or now McCain, over Obama does not a racist make, either. When I saw what my friend wrote about her son being branded that way just because his family supported Hillary, it kind of broke my heart and made me think about how I might not want to jump into Obamamania, either, if that had happened to my baby. For me, her perspective was a reminder that candidates are to some degree held responsible for the behavior of their supporters, so it isn't only Obama who needs to show those disappointed Hillary voters some respect. (And yes, I am looking in the mirror on this one.)
