KARMA is going to catch up with Hillary.
I mean look at Lieberman. Is he really "respected"? As soon as Democrats have a large majority in the Senate, Lieberman will be kick out to the curve.
Hillary has a similar fate awaiting her.

Besides, having a black president will be great for women's rights. Its a giant step foreward for the country, and opens the floodgates to women, latinos, and people of all diversity. To say Obama's candidacy is a threat to women's rights just because he beat Hillary in the primary would be like saying John Kerry was a threat to African-Americans just because he beat AL Sharpton and Carol Mosley Braun in THAT pripary four years ago.
Its a stupid argument. Hillary, its time to fade away as graciously as possible.

Alison Benedikt is right, Hillary's loss in the primaries has NOTHING to with sexism it's all about Hillary the person. Most of us don't like her & don't trust her. It's about her character, not her gender!

This is exactly how I feel and I just don't get why so many women don't feel the same way. Hillary is using them. She is setting women back with her victim game and her "I don't do math" reasoning.

The problem is that a certain portion of Hillary's crowd, including bloated and rich uppity old wrinkled hags like Geralding Ferraro, cannot accept the fact that their feminine hero will be shining the shoes and carrying the water for a black man for the next for years. It sound like they long for the good ol' days. Their games is over and the next generation is taking over the helm.

If I understand her argument it is: the people who voted for me can't be disappointed even though Obama has the popular vote, the delegate majority , and the super delegate majority. Following this reasoning every one else who ran against Obama is entitled to the same view. So Edwards, Dodd, Biden, et al say they must win because the people who voted for them wanted them to be the nominee. What tripe. In elections the person with the most votes is the winner. Not the person who finished second, third or fourth, Of course the people who voted for her are disappointed but they need to consider that the majority of the people had doubts about her ability compared to Obama and voted accordingly. If the situation was reversed does anyone actually think that this farce would be continuing. I thought not.

If these "so called feminist groups" decide to work against Obama this fall instead of for him, resulting in a supreme court appointed by McSame and end up with Roe v. Wade being overturned. They deserve what they get.

Exactly. I just wish there were more women commenting here. I haven't seen feminism look so much like a bunch of whining affluent women since the consciousness-raising groups of the 1970's, when the affluent women in the town I grew up in, most of them with high-earning husbands, would get together and talk about how oppressed women are. I don't see any of these Hillary defenders talking about what the Supreme Court will look like after 4 years of McCain. I don't hear them talking about the plight of poor women. It's all about what white, middle-class women "deserve." It's so counter productive, and as a woman, it's distressing.

There is plenty of sexism and racism in this country. The Democratic party has there share of bigots, however, probably many fewer than in the Republican party. However, I have rarely seen such in the party elders.
I started out for Clinton spurred on by the Clinton White House years, her policies and political skills. I am not for Clinton now and it has little to do with sexism. It does have a lot to do with how long it took the Clinton campaign to find its voice, how poorly managed the campaign has been, how high Clinton's disapproval numbers have been, how low her credibility number is since the attacks on Obama.
In the end, I switched to Obama. He is more electable. He organized his campaign well. Although he was not as polished a debater or as good a debater, he has caught up and is well poised to surpass Clinton and McCain. The real truth is that this is just an issue of who is more electable. She needs to move on.

Clinton has been a lousy senator for my state. I don't want the woman running my country. As a woman, I am embarrassed that she is the first woman to run for president; I wanted a woman with much more integrity to be the first to represent my sex. She's vindictive when she doesn't get her way, and she's really conservative. She is not looking out for anyone's interests other than her own, and that is so very much the opposite of what we need right now.
The reasons that Clinton won't be the Democratic candidate for president have little to do with misogyny, though misogyny certainly is going on (as is racism). Clinton is Machiavellian. She'll do absolutely anything that she thinks that she has to to win, and she's vindictive when she doesn't get her way. She's also very close to Republican in her stances. There are other women I'd rather have seen as a Democratic candidate, women who don't lie and shape-shift to get votes.
Poor Clinton, the victim of misogyny? Nope. She's a victim of her hateful tactics and of the idiots she's hired to run her campaign.

H.Clinton, can't bare to say her name, showed how desperate "at any cost" that she is to win!! Maybe it's the winning thing, more than the prize. You know how some people are, they just can't stand for anyone to get ahead of them, and that becomes the only reason they want to win, just to win for winnings sake!! This is immature and irresponsible thinking, and proves she would be a disaster as a President, and even worse as Obama's VP. Please don't doom his presidency with any suggestion of that, if he succeeds in fighting her off! Yes, she is just like Glen Close in that movie with M.Douglas, where she never ever gave up, and tried to kill him and his family in the end!! What a creep she has become or always was, it now appears. Please S.Delegates do the right thing and end this as she is trying to destroy the democratic party, she doesn't care and neither does Bill. Help!!

The vicious, gender-based comments in response to this article perfectly illustrate why Clinton is right about sexism. Obama supporters have done a nasty little hatchet job on the Democratic party by exposing their hardcore underbelly of misogyny. Nothing in the Clinton camp remotely compares to the relentless, woman-hating remarks of Obama supporters. Now go and pat yourselves on the backs for being "progressive" and continue to support your all-for-change-as-long-as-men-stay-in-charge candidate. Thanks to your short-sighted sexism, get ready to salute President McCain.

Ah, well at least we know that you approve of the Iraq War and the Patriot Act parts I and II. Mighty progressive of you, Debb. And mighty white of you to have "not noticed" all the race baiting from the wonderfully perfect Clinton campaign.

Well, considering that BOTH candidates have been beaten and bloodied by this long campaign, progressives should be getting together dont you think? Both candidates, not just YOUR candidate.
I have been relentlessly attacked by Hillary supporters, you know, but it never made me think of voting for McNasty, not even once.
. If you love McCain so much, you should change parties, go out and go whole hog for McCain.
You know, the guy who just voted AGAINST the Fair Pay Act. You may even get to meet Phylis Schlafly!!! Maybe she will be your BFF.!
