In an interview with ABC News' Cynthia McFadden to air on this evening's "Nightline," Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., says it's tougher for her to run as a woman than it is for her male opponent.
Asked why she thinks so many women may be feeling sorry for her, Clinton said, "I think a lot of women project their own feelings and their lives onto me, and they see how hard this is. It's hard. It's hard being a woman out there. It is obviously challenging with some of the things that are said that are not even personal to me so much as they are about women.
"And I think women just sort of shake their head," Clinton continued. "My friends do. They say, 'Oh, my gosh, this is so hard.' Well, it's supposed to be hard. I'm running for the hardest job in the world. No one has ever done this. No woman has ever won a presidential primary before I won New Hampshire. This is hard. And I don't expect any sympathy, I don't expect any kind of, you know, allowances or special privileges, because I knew what I was getting myself into.

Worth a few votes.
oh brother. what a whiner. a weak, stupid woman.
Please will this woman Mrs. William clinton, wife of impeached ex president bill clinton , just go away, and quit playing the victim card..
I think She Who Must Not Be Named needs a new campaign theme song!
Linda Rondstat - “Poor Pitiful Me!”
oh brother. what a whiner. a weak, stupid woman.
Can’t stand the heat? How will she run the country? She’s a laughing stock now and will be even moreso if she was ever elected. Now she is playing the gender card and whining like a baby. Can’t win any other way. God help those who fall for it.
Boo Freakin’ Hoo!, Get your emotions off your sleeve and go home. President my a$$.
It’s tougher for Hillary to run because nobody likes her.
Running for President: Women (but not my minority opponent) hardest hit, says Hillary
Welp, inevitability didn’t work, experience didn’t work, attacks and passive-agressiveness didn’t work.
She’s gone back to a tried and true method of getting votes: projecting weakness and soliciting sympathy.
How about “Doom, Despair, and Agony on me”
Can someone please help me here? Did Margaret Thatcher ever whine about being a woman?
Yeah, it had nothing to do with twenty pitiful debate performances. It was because she was a woman.
She’s had to much “good luck” for that one.
yes--maybe a delegate or two... "is this hard for you, Hillary? have a delegate... that'll make you feel better."
All of Hillary’s votes will be man-hating, anti-family, anti-defense votes. You’ll be far worse off with Hillary’s “experience” and genocidal, fascist, organized crime constituency than with Obama.
And the media used to give Bush a fit over saying that he and his administration were doing 'hard work'. It was one of his favorite sayings and the press used to make fun.
That that She Who Will Not Be Coronated is saying the same thing, she deserves our respect and sympathy. Excuse me while I hurl.
