Wade</I> is overturned. Hillary Clinton did not lose because of sexism. A Harvard study found she actually had more success driving the narrative than Obama. And Obama surely had no obstacles of his own to face; yeah right. For those that voted on gender, Clinton usually won; for those that voted on race, Clinton usually won. <BR/><BR/>Hillary Clinton lost for three reasons. One, she misread the year. She ran as a de facto incumbent in a year where the public is in a gigantic anti-incumbent mood. Two, she thought that she needed to be "strong on defense" to be deemed electable; but 2/3rds of the public is opposed to the war. Her refusal to apologize for her war vote, and her vote for a potential war in Iran--especially her vote for a potential war n Iran, as it showed she hadn't learned anything from Iraq--lost her Iowa and the anti-war states. Finally, her campaign didn't plan adequately for the 12 primary run in February and suffered 12 straight landslide defeats (the closest election was 59-41) because of it. Part of that was because, after Iowa, the Clintons foolishly decided "caucuses are not our thing," and after South Carolina they foolishly decided to write off states with African American populations above 20%--the result, landslides in Washington, Maryland, Virginia, Nebraska, Louisiana, Mississippi, Wyoming, Nebraska, the Virgin Islands, the District, Maine, Wisconsin and Vermont. <BR/><BR/>Her loss had nothing to do with sexism and everything to do with running an inept and arrogant campaign.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-63350209484734355142008-06-01T09:45:00.000-04:002008-06-01T09:45:00.000-04:00Always blame Clinton Well we do not accept it.

This country can not accept that a female could lead HER!!! Good Luck because WE will not make nice We Will Remember in November!!! Don't get me wrong there good men out there and there are mean confused women as well. But the bottom line is that on the whole women are not trusted to lead. And, if you are talking about Pelosi, I agree. Well, I quit the democratic party. I am now a citizen voting my conscience not party. We Will Remember in November. And, just for you to blame Clinton is sexist. Is the maedia somehow not culpable? Oh, they are run by mostly out of control testosterone.

You did not like the manner in which folks voted so you convened a group of elitists and they went into a back room and decided how to handle the vote. That group even devined that some people really wanted to vote for Obama in MI so what the heck, they just gave him some votes. And how can a human being cast a half a vote? What, you walk into the polling place and only look at part of the ballot? Or two people go to the polling place together and vote as one? Ah, the best part was the guy telling everyone that was what was good for them. I just love elitists telling me what is good for me. That is real Liberalism. I swear, that was about the funniest and most clear reason why anyone who votes with these people are nothing but sheep.
