176. As a woman, I've noticed that HRC has been treated very well by the press.
Little has been made of the fact that she's a woman. It mainly has been talked about by the Clinton campaign and supporters, but by few else. And when it has been, it was for the most part in an analyzing way and totally respectfully. Much the same way as Romney's Mormonism was discussed.

I am a white, middle aged woman. I know sexism when I see it. I also know a reason for a woman to be angry that she's been dissed because she's female. This is definitely not that situation.

Hillary had a popular former President as a spouse, twice the money as any other candidate, far more press coverage (the good kind) than any other candidate, was the most famous woman in the country....and she STILL managed to lose the nomination. It's just not her time. She made too many tactical errors, starting with who she chose to run her campaign. That is also, BTW, evidence of lack of leadership. If you recall, failing to appoint the right people to do the job is one of Bush's big failings.
