Gotta give Hillary credit for keeping her original gender, unlike the "woman" I saw on C-SPAM this morning.

I’ve voted in the past based solely on gender.

Of course that was back when I use to vote Democrat too so obviously I didn’t use logic back then.

I spent nearly 35 years of my life in the media. I have covered elections at every level.. from Township Trustee to President of the USA.

Despite what the media tells you the most prejudiced voters in the USA are the Democratic base. A large portion of the base is made up of male hourly workers. They have no more than a High School education. They don't want a woman or a black boss and they do note vote for females or blacks for major public office.

The media and the power structure of the Democratic party holds far different views than most of the base. What you find when talking to most of the Democrat base is that they delegate control of their lives to the Democratic party. They believe that they can not understand government, but the Democratic party does, and the Democratic elites will look out for them.

Thus the Democrat big shots can refuse to open Alaska for oil and the base will vote for them. The Base doesn't understand that the Democrats refusal on new Drilling is a major cause of $3.15 gasoline. They don't even know that what their party did. They blame the big oil companies and Republicans for making gasoline cost so much.

The Democratic party base pays no attention to what the party leaders do. They just delegate control, that is their votes, to the party so the party elites can protect them form the evil Republicans.

But if the party puts a woman or a black on the presidential ticket, they will find that is far different thing than refusing to drill for oil. The base can not help bu know what has been done, and mutch of the Base will refuse to vote. They would not vote for a Republican but they may very well refuse to vote for a female or black candidate.

I suspect the polls will show Hillary in great shape until election day. Then they may find out that much of the parties base, has not turned out to vote. It may come as a huge surprise.

The Democratic party is a top down organization. You can bet the precinct captains know the score. But the Democratic elites do not listen to or even ask precinct captains. The elites send orders and rulings down. They never ask for or get information from the bottom up.

They will find out during the election 2008. It reminds me of 1972. The elites were sure that George McGovern could destroy Richard Nixon at the polls. But on election day 60.7 percent of the votes went to Nixon. As a comparison Reagan in his huge victory of 1984 only got about 58 percent of the vote. The Republican party is a bottom up party. The democrats are a top down. That explains the differences between the two parties.

I’m a woman. Quite frankly, I would never vote for a megalomaniac, rapist-enabler, chronic liar of either gender.

Boo hoo Hills, most thinking people are on to you. It’s the other idiots I’m worried about...

Virtually all the liberal (sorry, “progressive”) women I know are dead set on Hillary. When I ask they why, none of them can come up with a single response.

Bill Clinton Denounces the Media for Rough Treatment of Wife [semi-satire]

Former president Bill Clinton denounced the media for what he labeled “their invasive, intrusive, and impolite harassment of his wife.” He was referring, he said, to the spate of questions raised following Hillary’s difficulty in
the Democratic debate last week.

“Candidates shouldn’t have to answer complicated questions and be expected to take definite policy positions prior to taking office,” Clinton asserted. “This could impede their flexibility once they are elected.” Clinton contended that this “loss of the element of surprise will make the nation
more vulnerable to its enemies—both foreign and domestic.”

“By taking a multi-faceted perspective on the issues, Hillary is showing that she sympathizes with people of all points of view,” Clinton continued. “I think this is the kind of inclusiveness we want in a president. It worked
for me. Hillary is just carrying on what she learned from observing me.”

Clinton recommended that “Voters should vote for the person they trust and leave the decisions on complicated issues to her good judgment.”

In related news, the former president also warned his wife’s rivals for the Democratic nomination to “watch what they say. If they keep piling on they might find themselves ‘swift-boated’ somewhere downstream of here.”

Presidential contender Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill) said he found “the implication that the Clintons may have been the unacknowledged force behind the campaign that derailed Senator Kerry’s 2004 run for the office stunning.
The surreptitious undermining of our own Party’s nominee goes beyond the normal bounds of give-and-take among honorable adversaries. I’d call it disreputable, maybe even sinister.”

Will Clinton's gender help or hurt her?

Any mention of her in terms of "gender" hurts me...

If men don’t want to vote for her because she reminds of them of a first wife, how many women will want to vote for their nightmare of what a mother-in-law looks and acts like?

Mrs. Clinton's gender is not a problem and is nonsense anyway. Her sex might influence the vote of some female women and of the Alanalda women.

Gender is a label in language that categorizes nouns. It came into use as a synonym of sex so that politicians don't have to use that pedestrian word "sex."

Well the rat has not gotten the White male vote since 1964. Anyone who thinks ITT will bring White males back to the rat line is smoking his own evidence ( a little cop lingo there). I know lil dick morris thinks ITT will bring out female voters who have never voted before and I agree. I don’t however agree that they will show up to support ITT.
I think enough will show up to vote against her to blunt her supposed advantage. On balance ITT loses the gender question and we have not even looked at issues. Since ITT’s campaign seems to be losing the battle to control and script her news conferences, she is beatable. It will be a long slow pull but we can stop her.
